I sent in patch that creates a drivers/input directory for 2.4.X for
linus. I hope he takes it. It's very big. We can send a second patch for
the busmouse. I think he will take the serial mouse driver since it does
make for a unified mouse protocol. I guess the only think that will not go
in are the keyboard drivers. I also see new keyboard driver where added
recently (scan_keyb.c and hp600_keyb.c).  

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