Well that's what I was trying to do with the patch I sent you in
Message-ID: <20100308010125.GA6387 at dragon.NUXI.org> on 7-March-2010.
There you didn't care for that approach and would not give details
as to the claims you made.

I will reply in another email the issues with your patch.

Guess???  'newvers.sh' is not going to be within the kernel sources
tree??  Are you allowing for the person that did a 'mv sys/conf/newvers.sh'
to elsewhere?  Considering you have "sh $S/conf/newvers.sh", I don't see
where you are.  Is "$0" confusing you?
