Is there a generic driver for webcams to get images on a ROS topic?

The usb_cam package works great for my Logitech camera http://www.ros.org/wiki/usb_cam. The ROS sensors page gives an overview of available drivers http://www.ros.org/wiki/Sensors#Cameras

There is a community wiki page with a table of standard USB camera drivers. It lists the drivers by feature, underlying driver, download link and license.
