OK, I removed them.

I fixed the patch, please pick up it from the devel branch:

http://makedumpfile.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=makedumpfile/makedumpfile;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/devel

I haven't introduced it until now, this is a branch for development:

 - There are the patches reviewed by me, so I hope that this branch
   hasn't many bugs. 

 - This branch will be released as a next official version if
   there is no problem.

 - But, this branch could be broken without a announcement,
   don't trust too much.

At least, the dmesg patch will be merged into the next version without
more changes, I'm sure that this branch meet your purpose.


Thanks
Atsushi Kumagai
