+	  fswebcam is a neat and simple webcam app. It captures images
+	  from a V4L1/V4L2 compatible device or file, averages them to
+	  reduce noise and draws a caption using the GD Graphics
+	  Library which also handles compressing the image to PNG or
+	  JPEG. The resulting image is saved to a file or sent to
+	  stdio where it can be piped to something like ncftpput or
+	  scp.
