Before unzipping the file, cd /usr/src/lkm/syscons.

I've merged all the diffs posted on this list, and I've put some
conditionals to accomodate different versions of lkm.h (it has changed
quite a lot in the past 18 months).
Now it compiles and runs without changes on:
	2.1-RELEASE
	2.2-960501-SNAP
	2.2.2-RELEASE

I've added a small feature: instead of a fixed message (was: "FreeBSD
3.0 CURRENT") the screen saver now prints the actual version of the
kernel, plus the hostname of the machine it's running on. For those,
like me, having more than one server connected to a single
monitor/keyboard via a console switch, this is quite useful. I have
diffs to do the same with the classic snake screen saver.

I'd really like to see this screen saver commited to the source tree.
Sandro, thanks for sharing it with us.
