/* <sigh> Unfortunately I've failed in contact some Authors of decompression
   code of out of tree drivers. So I've no permission to relicense their code
   their code from GPL to LGPL. To work around this, these decompression
   algorithms are put in separate executables and we pipe data through these
   to decompress.

   The "protocol" is very simple:

   From libv4l to the helper the following is send:
   int			width
   int			height
   int			flags
   int			data length
   unsigned char[]	data (data length long)

   From the helper to libv4l the following is send:
   int			data length (-1 in case of a decompression error)
   unsigned char[]	data (not present when a decompression error happened)

/* IMPROVE ME: we could block SIGPIPE here using pthread_sigmask()
   and then in case of EPIPE consume the signal using
   sigtimedwait (we need to check if a blocked signal wasn't present
   before the write, otherwise we will consume that) and
   after consuming the signal try to restart the helper.

   Note we currently do not do this, as SIGPIPE only happens if the
   decompressor crashes, which in case of an embedded decompressor
   would mean end of program, so by not handling SIGPIPE we treat
   external decompressors identical. */
