[mdlug] Webcam for ubuntu 14.04 server

[Jeff Hanson]

IIRC, webcam-server was a Java-based program.  It worked but it's network
security was non-existent and so it was intentionally limited to localhost
connections only.  It hadn't been maintained for years.

ZoneMinder is the most comprehensive webcam server but may be overkill.  I
think you can get webcam screenshots with vlc-nox and maybe xawtv.
