Did you look at http://jdurand.home.cern.ch/jdurand/arla/ ? Also, there's a
--without-x configure flag if you don't want to bother with Xaw. Patches
are of course welcome :)

Hmm, I'm not so sure about that one. Most of the fixes for that are still
on the TODO list. But maybe you'll see some improvement anyway.

We started doing the tar thing to be sure the kbuild process didn't change
anything in the kernel tree, maybe it's not really necessary? Any thoughts?

And with the distros starting to merge features wildly between kernel
versions, it would probably be nice if we had a way of doing configure
tests on kernel features.

Moved from one file into nnpfs/linux/nnpfs/nnpfs_blocks_locl.h, only I
forgot to add that one before TR1. Mea culpa.

That reference should be removed as well, the struct is gone (at least on
linux and bsd).
