so v4l* has everything that we need, no external libs needed

the modulation
used by teletext is as simple as one could modulate the data, sample > 50%
brightness its a 1 bit otherwise its a 0 bit, the error correction is a
8,4 hamming code for control and 1 parity bit to 7 bit for text you dont need
an external lib for doing these, also the apparent lack of subpage support
is scaring me, theres nothing special or tricky about subpages

also looking at zvbis upcomming features
* Multi-station Teletext page cache
that one my code supported 8 years ago already ...

* Teletext and CC caption/subtitle recording in formats like MPSub, 
  QuickTime Text, SAMI or SubViewer, with color, styles and position 
  preserved as far as possible
that one qualifies the lib as something i will never ever install on
any system i own


PS: and yes i do vote for reverting the patch and i vote against any
patch using an external lib for teletext decoding theres no need for
this, teletext is very simple
