If you currently use a lot of different GEOM classes, and have noticed
some strange hal-related behavior in GNOME when it comes to mounting
disks, or seeing icons for RAID members on the desktop, try the
following patch for sysutils/hal:

This patch removes libdisk usage from hal, and replaces it with pure
GEOM configuration parsing.  I'm interested in getting all feedback.
The idea is to fix any GEOM-related volume problems without introducing
anything new.  So if something feels worse after this patch, definitely
let me know.
