Rydh (of MOL fame) has also written a couple apps based on this hack to
modify the drivers automagically. If you have a current MOL installed
they're in the MOL disk image (moldisk.dmg), if you don't have MOL I haven't
a clue - quick google didn't turn anything up. I shouldn't think there would
be a problem redistributing them, though, they're bundled with MOL and don't
seem to have any given licence attached to them directly. (Correct me if I'm
wrong, anybody.)
