	Bah, I still need to update the spec for all the new stuff; until
	then, here's some other new stuff - one very relevant use for this
	is that we can key off whether a system can ACPI S3 by e.g. looking
	at the new smbios.* properties on computer (so distros can maintain
	a whitelist) - another interesting one is system.formfactor that
	e.g. Nautilus can use to select the right icon for Computer

	* hald/linux2/probing/probe-smbios.c: New file; invoke dmidecode
	and extract useful properties

	* hald/linux2/probing/Makefile.am: Add build rules for new prober
	hald-probe-smbios

	* hald/linux2/osspec.c (computer_probing_helper_done): New function
	(computer_probing_pcbios_helper_done): New function
	(osspec_probe): Do the hald-probe-smbios if system supports ACPI or
	APM; add note to do something similar for PowerMac's etc.
