Patches are welcomed. I considered just now added the depmod stuff you
mentioned but remembered that there are also scripts which may use
this on compat-wireless. We could just export it though and then all
the scripts would have access to it -- but note that it means then
that you'd need the Makefile to run certain scripts -- and if you
don't you have to define your own depmod. Because of this I welcome
your patches on this if you test it.
