I still need to know the mapping.  I don't see any of thie model stuff
in my documentation.  Granted there's a bunch of stuff I probally
haven't looked at.

I have a PIII celeron.  Where do I go loook to find what model that is
so I know what to add into my config?

Well I was hoping for a bit more detail.  *grin*   Like how do you
enable and disable it and what do all the options do.

Well when I got the build error I was unsure if you _had_ to have a
payload specified and there weren't any.  So I just created a blank
file and tried that.

Out of tree makes it a bit more difficult for me to keep all my stuff
under one roof when I go to check it into my internal CVS.  Why do you
like out of tree?
