Both the utilities and the device they need to talk to in order to
get their information got stomped on in the move to CAM, I think.

I'm looking at moving them forward to -current - but more so I can
learn more about the kernel internals.   I originaly thought that it'd
be a five minute job - but I somewhat overestimated my abilities and
underestimated my workload.

From mails exchanged some time ago, Simon Shapiro (sp?) the original author
said, IIRC, that he had fixing those utils on his to-do list - but not at
the top :(
