Cheese question

Greetings all;

I think I have figured out a real use for a POS webcam I bought several 
years back, a labtec, low resolution & poor color by todays standards that 
Cheese manages to coax a usable pix out of if the light is decent enough.  
It has adjustable focus, & can actually focus on my fingertip 3/4" away 
from the lens.

In fact, cheese would run it as a machine vision device, IF Cheese had the 
ability to super a set of crosshairs over the image, and I could cobble up 
a truly rigid mount for it on the head of my milling machine. That would 
likely involved dis-emboweling it from plastic & machining the mount, very 
little problem for me since I have a small cnc driven milling machine.

But, has the latest Cheese grown a crosshair super feature?  Its worthless 
without that.

Thanks, anybody that knows, or can suggest another receiver package for 
these low cost USB cameras that does have a super a crosshair feature?

Cheers, Gene
