Hi!

  I just wanted to give updates to what has been happening. The vt_struct
and vc_data tree setup I has talking about has been put into place. I
haven't made the vt_struct a link list so multihead has been disabled for 
now. Once I'm finish I will bring it right back. I have devleoped a VC
pool for each vt_struct. Also you can add more pools. I have yet
to implement this due to the the 64 tty limit :-( I have unblanking when
you press the keyboard effect a particular VT. 

  This brings me to some questions about hwat you did Vojtech. Is
show_console obsolete now ? Also you have register_leds but nothing uses
it. What is it for? I know it is safe to call poke_blank_console direct so
I'm going to try to see if we can remove 

do_poke_blanked_console;
takslet_schedule(...)

and replace it with a call to poke_blank_console instead. Off it test. By
the way everything in CVS compiels and works :-)

Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
