I comitted your patches (with some changes: no dvb_ prefix,
don't install test/, install ttusb_dec_reset and av7110_loadkeys
[hm, I missed the *.rc5 files...], add bindir and sysconfdir
definitions everywhere so it works without rpm).

Please provide later patches against CVS, not 1.1.0.
We can release 1.1.1 shortly ;-)

I would just not install them. They were written to test small parts
of the API during driver development.

If you want something useful, install dvbsnoop:
