I've downloaded this and had a quick look. It looks promising. I will try
this out first - hopefully it will do the job.

Thanks

I don't really understand what autoconf does or how essential it is, and my

compilation task. If we can figure out how to use it, we could have a
unified build system for the entire driver.
