0.5.9rc3

[David Zeuthen]

Hi hi,

Here's RC3

 http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/dist/hal-0.5.9.rc3.tar.gz
 http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/dist/hal-info-20070328.tar.gz

I *think* we're golden to release 0.5.9 in a day or so.. I had
originally not planned to do an RC3 but lots of good fixes plus some
lock reworking went in at the last minute. Plus I'm way too tired to
think of a good code name at this point. Thanks for testing this.
