This provides basic support of accessing the raw video data from Leap Motion (http://leapmotion.com) hardware, without using the leap SDK.

The device works like a normal UVC camera, however there is some kind of undocumented initialization that occurs using UVC class USB commands before the video stream will start. The sequence was simply copied from wireshark sniffing of the USB traffic to leapd.
