Well, I think a wxWidgets application can look like a native GNOME 
application if you want to, and it's not difficult for an average GUI. You're 
using native GTK widgets after all.

I checked the lastest version of eviacam and it uses the v4l2 API. I think that it 
just that the configure file uses linux/videodev.h and libv4l1-videodev.h for 
detecting the presence of v4l, that consist of 3 different libraries: libv4lconvert, 
libv4l1 and libv4l2.
