Great. I only hope the UTF-8 systems will enjoy it as much as you seem
to do ;) I really think they will.

OK, I've commited everything to CVS. You are all welcome to tell me if
you like the texts I added at the end of both "make install". The great
thing is that we know have these texts as placeholders for anything we
want to say to the users for either release or CVS testers.

I then tested on my fourth system, works like a charm.

I think that we should rather base our release warning on the text I
used at the end of i2c "make install". The text for CVS seems to warn
more about the fact that it is CVS and thus possibly unstable than about
anything else.

I finally add a sixth point to be discussed about:

6* Our installation process leaves the old i2c-pcf-epp.o and
i2c-elektor.o (as is or possibly compressed) modules. These drivers are
marked as "will not build outside kernel tree" in i2c's makefile. What's
the idea? Are these modules included by mkpatch? These old modules are
likely to crash the system since they will not be compatible with our
new I2C structures. I guess the safe way would be to delete them.

I don't know enough about these two modules, what they are used for and
the reason why they are not part of our build process to decide what to
do. Comments and explanations wanted!
