Hi,
I plan to package podsleuth and will upload a package once the first release
is there.

> PodSleuth is a tool to discover detailed model information about an Apple (TM) 
> iPod (TM). Its primary role is to be run as a callout by HAL [1] because root
> access is needed to scan the device for required information. When the model
> information is discovered, it is merged into HAL as properties for other 
> applications to use.
> 
> With PodSleuth installed, applications can expect to have rich iPod (TM) 
> metadata merged into the device tree on the iPod data volume node. PodSleuth
> metadata properties are in the org.banshee-project.podsleuth namespace.
> 
> PodSleuth is based on lessons learned from the old libipoddevice [2] project. 
> It is a cumulation of 2 years of research, backwards and forwards device
> compatibility, and extensive device coverage and user testing. It deprecates
> the libipoddevice project in use and simplifies information access for 
> top level applications.
