A mangled orig.tar.gz with autoreconf run on it already.

We need to decide whether want to (1) stick with the older version of the udev patch that currently ships with our debian package or (2) pull in the patch that made it upstream including all the (current and future) xorg.conf.d work. I'd actually vote for (1), since it allows for a more straightforward translation of current hal code and since the details of (2) haven't been finalized or fully implemented yet. If we go for (1), I'd suggest just pulling in my patch, since we're on our own anyway. If we go for (2), we're more bound by what upstream does, but I'm pretty confident that a similar patch will go in eventually. Either way, getting full wacom support back in lucid in the not too distant future wouldn't be a bad idea.
