Ah, thanks.  Well, as Dan said, we were going to update to udev-100
anyway; I'd think that if we can get that upgrade in soon, it won't be
that big of a problem.

Matt, I think I remember you were talking about wanting to do the udev
upgrade with Alexander's help, or something.  If you still want to do it
that way, go ahead -- if you have questions, you can at least try asking
me.  I don't guarantee I'll have a correct answer, but hey, we'll see
how it goes.  ;-)

(I will have to re-read the new udev manpages regarding the rule changes
they made in 098.  IIRC from the mailing list, the changes can basically
be done with a sed on all the rules files; the replacement names for the
rule attributes have a 1-1 mapping with the old names.  You just have to
replace SYSFS with ATTRS, NAME with KERNEL, etc.  Or something close to
that, anyway.)
