How to make the libuvc_ros package

@evk02 Thanks for the update, I have no problem with uvc_camera at all, but I want to get access to the file where I can adjust the exposure parameters. Because right now when working outside with other software to take videos, my Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 works perfect, but in ROS too bright
