Can you relate your ivtv & kernel versions & hardware parameters?

(I ask because I'll eventually be upgrading from 0.18.1 to 19 or 20,
but I intend to -not- upgrade ivtv from 0.4.1/0.4.2 (depending on
which machine we're talking about) so I can isolate what each upgrade
does before moving on---and because those ivtv versions are working
just fine with my hardware, thank you, and I see no reason to change
them until I must.  [That might happen when I upgrade the machines
from Ubuntu Breezy to Dapper, which will necessitate a kernel change,
but perhaps 0.4.x will still work okay with that kernel and I'll be
able to hold off until kernel 2.16.20 or so, whereupon ivtv will be
shipped with the kernel itself.])

P.S.  Breezy, kernel 2.16.12-10, AMD 2800+, MSI K7L2 Delta-L mobo,
MBE w/5 PVR-250's, FE/SBE w/1 PVR-350.
