Bump to latest git version.

Hello,

There has not been an official release of fswebcam, but, there are several
patches in there which I really need for development.
So, can we bump this package to latest git rev ?
Or, how can we proceed?
This patch is more of a RFC... but, would be useful.
Let me know if another approach is better.
Thanks,

Eugen

[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/fswebcam: bump to latest git version

I think it's OK to bump to this version, the tarball is indeed very old
and no longer available for the current location used by Buildroot.

Could you instead use the "github" macro available in Buildroot? This
way, we download a tarball from Github, which is much more efficient.

Thanks!
