Video capability complete

JcvVideo streams video from network locations. JcvWindowManager now manages windows which display both JcvImage and JcvVideo. To circumvent the JVM-hardware interface issues with video still not addressed in the latest Sun gem, JavaFX, I decided to accept only video available on the OpenJCV host computer's LAN. This way, I'm not going through the pain of addressing different pieces of hardware, and I'm not placing that hardship on the user.

However, users must stream their video to the network. Fortunately, programs of this nature are readily available for every platform. For Linux, I have been using 'webcam-server'. I will post options for Windows and Mac soon.
