 Right, at least three issues remain: how to name the modules, how to
 make depsolvers do the right thing with them, and how to request builds
 for i586 and i686 from the build system for the same package. 
Screw i586 for now. As for naming, the kernel version needs to be stored
*somewhere*. And we need to finalize the naming issue before we can
decide what behavior depsolvers need.

 But we should really fix the remaining issues with kernel module
builds,
 I'd like to get LIRC modules shipped too, and there may be other stuff
 queued up from others.  Anybody willing to (re)start or join this
 discussion somewhere?  fedora-packaging? 
Works for me. Here's my first submission:

I've had to make a few changes for FC4, and I'll post those later today
when I get a chance.
