I'm thinking about a solution as follows (not tried yet, will have to
wait till tomorrow):

1. mount 'server'/dev as NFS filesystem on 'workstation'/mnt/dev
2. symlink 'workstation'/dev/video to 'workstation'/mnt/dev/video
3. start xtvscreen

I'm sure I didn't think of something really important here that makes
this whole thing completely impossible, but hey it's 3.30 am ! ;-)
