You're right, alternatively one with a short cable.  Really this should
be part of the kit since you just can't actually use USB host without it.

I don't know how practical it is to expect someone to get mouldings made
and so on, so until we ship a lot of GTA02 nobody will target it I
guess.  I think for now we have to find a cheap webcam that is built to
mount on a laptop LCD top and abuse it somehow.

Hopefully once we proved it we can at least get the driver support for
the cameras that are widely available into the default kernel.
