This is actually a really cool idea, although it needs a bit of
refinement, and we would need to start providing and maintaining a
database which describes the drivers in more detail.  You don't want
to start with LINT, though; you want to start with GENERIC plus a few
of the more common options.  (Then provide a menu selection of the
form ``Show all available devices and options''.)

Icons are probably not the right user interface.  I'd suggest
something like Windows's ``hardware manager'' (in the System control
panel).
