Comment 7 for bug 1055778

I have attached a patch that should apply against the latest upstream code (which is probably the same as what's in the package, given the lack of upstream activity) that contains the changes that Stadler guy made. As it turns out, the necessary changes weren't too bad; somebody familiar with the new OpenCV Python interface could have done it in about 15 minutes (if even that).

If we need somebody to properly package these changes, I can do that.
