Originally I mentioned that I will package all the hardware support
modules in the libsoapysdr ITP, then I decided that I should ITP them
separately. These four were the first batch and I will continue with the
rest.
So basically, I'm on it as time permits. Since right now I only own some
rtlsdr hardware I don't care in which order I package the rest, so I
might as well do requests. SoapyUHD and SoapyRemote will have priority
then.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind and look out for it when packaging.
