video4linux-ivtv is the ivtv that was submitted to v4l and will be in
kernel 2.6.22. It is "ivtv 1.0.0". It is a bit different than 0.10.x,
but the main developer of ivtv has already asked developers of various
ivtv based applications to change them accordingly.

So what  will happen is that currently the one or other app may not be
working properly with ivtv 1.0.0, but once 2.6.22 hits the street all
these apps will have to migrate to the new scheme anyway.
