I wish I had known about that before I made more or less the same links myself
manually!

However, the problems I referred to still exist, the kernel will not build
cleanly.  At least 2.6.12 won't.

1. The i2c-id.h from Hg isn't compatible with the one from the kernel. All
   the kernel i2c stuff won't build.  I used the kernel i2c-id.h and
   just added the have dozen defines Hg needed to it.

2. The matroxfb driver won't build, because of videodev2.h.
   I thought maybe this was a bug in videodev2.h and sent a patch yesterday.

Also, the zoran driver source isn't in Hg (??), but is in the Makefile.  I
made the whole drivers/media/video directory a link into Hg, so this didn't
work.  The way makelinks.sh makes the links there is no problem.
