We could add a "foo" driver to the LINT generated by this script with

I guess I can't help but wonder if a script is necessarily better than
a well-commented template.
Today I've talked with [EMAIL PROTECTED] He suggests to put an example to tree and
change script to produce
a copy of driver using example from tree as a template via sed or smth
like that. It sounds like
a good idea. We could have a single dir in subtree with various examples
and a set of scripts that
could produce from one of the examples a driver to start with.

I still can remeber that, when the world and I were younger, I used
to study FreeBSD examples and sources for any release I had on hand
at the moment. There still are plenty of places on the globe where
off-line is the normal state of being, so we should provide good
reference material for developers on our release CD's, to my mind.
This also warrants MFC of fixes to source comments as long as they
help to understand the code. Of course, all this is just my
private opinion.
In general, I think we're better served by providing skeleton or
stub implementations of code that are part of the base source tree
(and compiled as part of it) than providing scripts and detached
sample source code. The reason is that any code not attached to the
tree almost instantly rots into uselessness.

Log:
- Added ability to provide (optional) path to the kernel sources
- Fixed path for ${s}/conf/files.FOO and a note that it should be
merged
into
corresponding file to be able to compile the kernel
- Changed kernel configuration example with the driver: it is not
produced by
copying Generic but by including it
- Changed from automatic module building to asking an user if it
