Request: rgb camera autoexposure off

[fernLightning]

By default it appears it does autoexposure, it would be good to be able to disable this and then manipulate gain and exposure manually...

We've got a datasheet for some close relatives of the camera and we know how to write the RGB cam's registers, so it should be doable. I'll look into this soon.

We've found registers controlling a gamma correction curve. There's also a register that looks like it affects exposure time, but we're as of yet unsure how values map to exposure times.

Depending on how soon we get our first versioned release out the door, this functionality may or may not make it in to that release, but hopefully we'll have something along these lines soon.

Docs are at http://openkinect.org/wiki/Protocol_Documentation#Color_CMOS_Camera_Register_Access if anyone else reading this wants to help out. :)

As a team project, we will be looking at possibly adding this feature to our fork

Autoexposure is now implemented via #332 as of libfreenect v0.2.0.
