   This is an update of Neal's patch and fixes all issues left. The
   two disabled drivers are now enabled.

Thanks.

   The only thing I've not changed is "GNUmach" to @PACKAGE_NAME@ in
   version.c.in, beacuse it's used for example in "uname -v" and I'm
   not sure if it will break programs parsing that if the token is
   split in multiple words.

Using @PACKAGE_NAME@ should be ok I think.  The only script that uses
this value for anything useful is config.guess, and that value isn't
used when running the script on GNU/Hurd (the values from `uname -v'
are used 7 times in total in config.guess from 2004-08-11).

I just checked what it reports on a GNU/Linux box,

~ $ uname -v
#1 Fri Jan 30 18:32:22 EST 2004

And that isn't a single word by a long shot (not even the correct data
to report).
