Hi,

another update on the udev front, things are progressing nicely :)
Thanks to Hamish and Casey for providing me with a MAKEDEV script.

Changes since last time:

- the init.d spell will check the static /dev for console and null
  devices, if they don't exist it offers to create a static dev tree,
  defaulting to yes (this is only checked if the user chooses udev or
  static for device management)
- the udev spell now installs a /etc/udev/udev.missing file that gets
  processed by the devices init script to create the devices udev
  doesn't know about, the file is commented and currently contains only
  the ppp device, if anyone finds more missing devices they can be added
  easily.

Still missing is securetty and fstab editing, securetty is easy, fstab
is hard. For fstab it'll need to map devfs names like
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc -> /dev/hda and vice versa, same
for scsi. If anyone wants to take a shot at it i'll be happy to include
it in the init.d spell.
