Yes indeed, it would be the thing to do. And that's what the script was doing
in the first place.
But it was not working on some *BSD systems (MacOS-X IIRC), so there was a
patch that was sent which was reportedly working on MacOS-X and was also
working on my machine. As there was no comment on the list saying it was
bad, I applied it.
Now, I'm all in favour of reverting that patch, and better yet, resync with
the kernel's script. But that will break MacOS-X again. Then, we will have
to wait for someone with MacOS-X to come in whining, and then we'll be able
to properly fix it.
