Currently v4l-utils has no tooling provided for receiving and sending
raw IR using the lirc interface. Some of this can be done using various
tools from the user-space lirc package, but not everything is covered.
We want to be able to do the following:
- List all the features that a lirc device provides
- Set all possible receiving and sending parameters
- Send raw IR, formatted as a text file
- Record raw IR, with output in the same format as for sending
- Testbed for lirc drivers. Driver misbehaviour is reported
The need for this is not new. The manufacturer of the IguanaWorks IR
device have a similar tool which is IguanaIR specific:
http://www.iguanaworks.net/2012/igclient-examples/
Also RedRat3 provide a similar tools but this uses a signal database
for sending IR, and is redrat specific.
http://www.redrat.co.uk/software/redrat-linux-ir-tools/
Lirc provides a tool for reading raw IR but no method of sending it.
http://www.lirc.org/html/mode2.html
None of these provides full coverage of the basic raw IR lirc interface,
hence v4l-utils seems like logical place to provide this functionality. It
can be used as a tool for testing features of lirc drivers.

The README for libv4l was renamed from README.lib to
README.libv4l but the reference to it was not fixed.
This patch fixes the above.

Add some autogen magic to allow disabling the compilation of
v4l-utils or libv4l.
If libv4l is disabled but v4l-utils is enabled, it will still
build libv4l statically, and will linkedit the v4l-utils against
the static libraries.
This way distributions can ship v4l-utils on a separate package
from libv4l, and even having things like providing a v4l-utils
based on a different version of libv4l.
This changeset also opens space to add more libraries and other
packages, as the first step to turn it into a media-utils tree.
While here, adds a v4l-utils.spec rpm file, as found on Fedora.
