The Panorama Activity is snot quite barely functional.  It might be best
to roll this functionality into Record, and Erik Blankinship has expressed
some interest in that.  However, Record's UI is very unusual, and I am not
about to attempt integration with it myself.  Also, as you can see in the
examples, this process is only likely to work well once the camera's
automatic white balance and gain control are deactivated.  The only way I
know how to do that is to run in Bayer mode.  Bayer mode was introduced in
a recent gstreamer, but gstreamer was recently downgraded, which leaves me
without a known reliable way to access Bayer mode.
