HAL and Copy Protection

[Jesse Allen]

Ok, I just verified that HAL works perfectly fine for what we want. In
fact, it does make thing easier for people as you don't have to mess
with those device symlinks :)

I don't suspect anything wrong with GCC 4.xx now, as I think the
ubuntu package is compiled with 4.0.3. I think the report on that may
have been a very early version 4 or a buggy distro.

However, since I encountered no trouble, I don't know what's wrong
with at least with one person's ubuntu...
