Nothing to see here. Move along.

Not buying it, eh?

I know I said new features before 1.1, but, well...  (I was weak!)

The config file and hotplug modes aren't implemented yet.  Might take a stab at
those tomorrow.  (I _should_ go back to focusing on the bug triage list.)

+	  mdev is a mini-udev implementation: call it with -s to populate

+	  The mdev config file contains lines that look like:

+
+	  Config file parsing stops on the first matching line.  If no config
