This should not be too hard to implement. At least the gspca kernel module offers an interface in
/sys/modules/gspca/parameters
where one can set gamma and rgb values for the cam. What it would take would be a graphical interface for that. So far it only works when restarting the webcam applications - so maybe it could be integrated into cheese and the like or we'd need something like a dbus-signal to tell them to refresh.

Will UVC webcams make this possible or easier to implement?
