Uh, they're being worked on almost daily by me and Laurent. Just not the
stable branch, but rather the video4linux2 branch. The standard branch
just works(tm) and only gets bugfixes/compilefixes when needed.

The (important) difference is in the saa7110 module, afaik. That makes
the kernel driver fail.

Not really, they're just there... The BTTV driver uses i2c-core and
i2c-algo-bit.

In-kernel is basically not supported. Just use modules.
