Since I won't be switching to a 2.5 kernel any time soon, VDR development
will be based on whatever the CVS HEAD version provides and which works with
kernel 2.4.10.

So, if it's nothing more than naming stuff, I'd vote for having the changes
done now, so even if I myself continue developing on kernel 2.4.10, people
who want to use kernel 2.5 could work with the same VDR version.
