"""Checks if a virtual webcam is running and starts it if not.

Returns a non-zero return code if the webcam could not be started.

Prerequisites:
* The Python interpreter must have the psutil package installed.
* Windows: a scheduled task named 'ManyCam' must exist and be configured to
  launch ManyCam preconfigured to auto-play the test clip.
* Mac: ManyCam must be installed in the default location and be preconfigured
  to auto-play the test clip.
* Linux: Not implemented

NOTICE: When running this script as a buildbot step, make sure to set
usePTY=False for the build step when adding it, or the subprocess will die as
soon the step has executed.

If any command line arguments are passed to the script, it is executed as a
command in a subprocess.
