Coriander 2.0.0 RC5

Coriander project is the Linux graphical user interface (GUI) for controlling a Digital Camera through the IEEE1394 bus (aka FireWire, or iLink).
Coriander is full featured and besides changing the parameters of the camera it will also let you record video, send images to an FTP site, convert the video to a V4L stream,... A live display is of course provided too.
Best of all, Coriander will work with any camera that is compatible with the IIDC specifications (also known as DCAM specs). This includes most 1394 webcams and a majority of industrial or scientific cameras too.
However, any cameras in which you can insert a video tape (camcorders,...) will NOT work with coriander. These cameras record compressed DV video on the tape, while the IIDC specify uncompressed, on-the-fly video flows.
Main features:
- change picture mode and format.
- camera on/off/reset
- control of Auto/man/one-push-auto, on/off, value and absolute value for all standard features
- memory channel save/load
- full Format_7 control
- control of the external trigger
- transmission on/off/restart
Enhancements:
- Upgrade the framerate calculation to use the timestamps sent by the kernel (through libdc1394)
- Add a counter that shows dropped frames warnings. A warning is issued when the difference between a pervious period and a new period is larger than 50%.
- fixed the bit depth. If the bit depth is available in the camera, it will be used. Otherwise the manual control will be available. I still have problems with my Basler 602f though. It has 10bits but the image is not good: saturated regions appear mid-grey (128) and the other regions are noise.
- sync with libdc1394 (SVN 391)
- fixed missing string in trigger_source_list
- sync with libdc1394
- add more details to configure messages
- added PIO, SIO and strobe direct register read/write
- remove spurious debug messages
- revert part of the change of Feb. 1st regarding the Flea 2 because some other manufacturers implementation systematically fail one of the tests.
- fixed wrong argument order of WritePVNHeader(). Thanks to John Shen.
- Disable features if they dont support any control mode or if they are OFF and their power cant be controlled. This solves a few issues we had with the Flea 2 from Point Grey.
- little update of the "About" window
- dont set 1394b at boot time: let the user do it manually.
- move and fix `extern declarations of string arrays from build_menus.c, build_ranges.c, thread_save.c, tools.c, update_frames.c and update_ranges.c to coriander.h
