get most of the device capability information from the device itself.
14. X-10 integration - A handy feature would be to allow a generated event to trigger some other action
perhaps to an attached X-10 interface, for instance turn lights on or make a dog barky noise!
15. Extend the API. Well ok it's not really got an API yet but the image datais held in shared memory in a
very simple format. In theory you could use the capture daemon to gab the images and other things could
read them from memory or the analysis daemon could read images from elsewhere. Either way this should be
done through an API, and would need a library I think. Also the zmu utility could probably do a whole lot
more to enable other things to manage when the daemons become active etc.
16. Finish implementing customisable image timestamps. There is proto support for this and it would be
easy to do to allow the timestamp to be defined as a strftime string and allow it's position to be moved.
Possibly also revamp the fonts a bit.
Bugs
====
Probably a bucket load, just fire them at me.
1. The shared memory segment(s) are not cleaned up properly. It's difficult to decide how perisistent to make
them really as they could still be of use even when nothing is using them, or at least writing to them.
2. Sometimes there is a sync error and very rarely a capture daemon just stops. Probably need a watchdog to
restart it when this happens.
3. I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design but the timestamp is added to the image by the capture daemon.
I _think_ this isn't necessary as it may contribute to alarms, plus the time is associated with the image
anyway. So I think this should be moved to the analysis daemon.
Probably a bucket load more, just fire them at me.
Non-Bugs
========
1. Yes, those are tabs in the indents, I like tabs so don't go changing them to spaces or else. Also yes I
also like my opening braces on their own line most of the time, what's the point of brackets that don't line up?
Everything else that isn't definately broken is probably deliberate, or was once anyway.
