[oats-sig] open gazer problems

I use the Logitech Quickcam 4000PRO and it works quite fine.
The only problem is, when you move your head too much. 

I have to talk to my prof and we will see in which direction we can go with
the opengazer.

I would love to try porting it to Windows and/or try to improve the head/eye
tracking.
My goal is to use a gaze tracker in a 3d-room that you can exactly know,
where the person is looking to.
And if there is time I will track the eye-contact, too.

so long...
