It'd be nicer if the opensuse "lilo" yaboot src package (just
inspected lilo-10.1.22-74.src.rpm) consisted of vanilla src and
packages rather than a modified tarball or if you pushed some patches
to list, or even better maintained a git tree to pull against.

Olaf - any chance of either splitting the patches into a patch set and
pushing, or pointing me at the scm used to host your yaboot.
