hmmm - wasn't the plan to freeze the dvb-kernel code, package it with a 
easy-to-use toplevel Makefile and then release it for standalone builds?

driver and apps should get distributed seperatly, but that's exactly 
what I suggested above...

The release target we've been talking about is a Makefile rule that 
removes CVS tags from the tree and creates a clean tarball, this can 
surely copied from the DVB/-Makefile, not? Don't know off-hand what 
minor adjustments would need to get done to get it working, though...
