Right, this is complete nonsense, and an absolutely needless overhead,
the same for the udev rules, which have more header than payload.
There is nothing that can be copyrighted, or even placed under the
GPL.

Lennart has gone wild putting this all over the place. I keep slapping
him this in the face, but he is too much in love with it, as it seems.
Maybe I should submit more m4 macros, so he can push all that annoying
stuff only into his own system. :)
