I'm sorry we haven't merged your previous patches yet .. I think that's
mostly not getting round to complete things there. But I would say
certainly, - cam is only a test tool - but being able to see the images
on multiple surfaces is a real benefit - and if it's just a 'reusable
sink' type component, then I think that's really helpful, and could even
be useful reference code for others.

So ... I would love to see easier ways to visually see the output of
cam.
