How to use USB webcams with iChat AV

I saw these instructions today on MacBidouille, a French news site. Translation is as follows:
- Download the macam (free) or IOExperts (not free) drivers for your USB webcam.
- Test that you can get the webcam feed with another application (such as video viewer).
- Download and install Unsanity's Application Enhancer, if you don't already have it (you will need to relogin or reboot).
- Download and install the iChatUSBCam application enhancer module. Be sure to shut down iChat first.
- Start up iChat, and the camera icon should appear.
Both iChatAV and the iChatUSBCam module are noted as public beta, and so should be expected to not work on all installations, to stop working altogether at inconvenient times, or cease to function after an update to one or the other.
