Lines ... lines ... no, I don't think I understand how to use lines
here. I guess I could switch units from us to rows here...?

Is it good idea? For userspace, microseconds are really a nice
interface, because ... well, that's what photographers are used to
think about (ISO 400, time 1/100). fcam also uses usec internally.

In the current camera code, I do autogain in small resolution, then
use same parameters (gain, time) at higher resolution. I guess I could
do the same with the non-microseconds interface, but then I'd have to
move the microsecond computation into userspace. And userspace is
not really good place to do that, as it does not know (and should not
have to know!) such low level details.

So... can we keep the interface as it is?

Thanks,
									Pavel
