Hmm, the old mechanism gave me 169 files while this new one gives
me only 99. On the other hand, the file

-rw-r-----  1 andre  andre  6144 18 Jan 17:40 0f-02-07

from the new one, is the concatenation of

-rw-r-----  1 andre  andre  2048 18 Jan 17:41 m02f2738.fw
-rw-r-----  1 andre  andre  2048 18 Jan 17:41 m04f2737.fw
-rw-r-----  1 andre  andre  2048 18 Jan 17:42 m08f2739.fw

from the old one (there are more files like this). However, I wonder
if feeding cpucontrol with 0f-02-07 on a machine which formerly had
been patched using m04f2737.fw will still work.
