All,

I recently pushed a new (alpha quality) backend for the media:/ kioslave
which uses udev/pmount and therefore does not rely on HAL.  I encourage
developers here to try it out!

Please report failures to this list, not to the bugtracker, as it has not
been tested much beyond mounting simple flash drives.  Encryption support
is buggy, but repairing it is my next task.

Rhis will NOT be made default for R14.0 due to the vast array of hardware
that it still needs to be tested on, but if your distribution no longer
works with HAL it may be better than nothing even in this alpha form.

To enable it, pass the -DWITH_TDEHWLIB="on" option to tdebase CMake.

Enjoy!

Tim
