gspca for newer kernels

Hi. I've got Creative Webcam NX Pro and I found i should be able to use it with gspca. gspca4all package in AUR is orphaned and outdated, so I tried to do it myslef. Unfortunately, adter many tries to compile it myself, it looks like it's impossible for newer kernels. The last release of gspca was in 2007. I'm sorry to see it's discontinued, but if it supports so many webcams, maybe it's at least possible to make it compile on 2.6.30 kernel?

gspca was integrated into the kernel(with 2.6.27 I think).

Ok, never mind. I got it to work with camsource, xf86-video-v4l and libv4l packages (video4linux)
