Running FC6 (updated this am) the temp sensors GNOME applet works with

the sensors command works fine and that's what my daemon checks.

Over the last few weeks I have pondered with the idea
to extend the current kbuild syntax.
The idea have existed for long but only recently I started
to think how to do this in a truely flexible manner.
Two areas are in need for a bit of attention to improve
current kbuild files in the kernel.
