WARNING WARNING WARNING

The makedev maintainer (that's me) intends to change upstream code bases in
a significant way for slink.  Any work on device file consistency in cruft
would be well-advised to wait a month or three, until this gets done.  I'd hate
to see a lot of work go into whacking around with the current MAKEDEV since I
can't guarantee that the options will all be the same, etc...
