Description

I have defined several udev rules to distinguish several cameras of the same type. I therefore have a softlink /dev/webcam1 to /dev/video1.
VideoCapture only to allows to open the second filename via open(1), but can't handle the softlink.
It would be great to have a constructor like 

capture = cv::VideoCapture("(dev/webcam1", CV_CAP_V4L2)
