This is exactly what I have suggested yesterday and today. Gentoo does this
other places, like with 3D acceleration. They provide ebuild that don't work
until I compile my kernel to turn on certain things and edit my XF86config
file to enable features.
We'll see. I think we'll get there.
A while back some of the kernel developers were a bit shocked we were using
capabilities this way, but that's another story! ;-)
