PBButtonsd 0.7.4 released - major feature enhancement

[Matthias G. <mat...@us...>]

Hi,
it's done again :-) A new pbbuttonsd release. Thanks to all that make
it possible. Special thanks to Ren=E9 Nussbaumer and Michael Hanselmann
who gave me the code and knowledge to add support for PMU05 PowerBooks.

This release got support for the ambient light sensor and the keyboard
illumination of latest 15" and 17" Powerbooks. Furthermore the keyboard
mode of USB keyboards can be set the same way as for ADB keyboards, as
long as you use kernel 2.6.16 or later.

As a first big step towards major future enhancements, the main loop
and the input device management of pbbuttonsd was moved to glib. This
change is the basis now for moving pbbuttonsd's IPC system towards
dbus-1 and to implement a dynamically loadable module system for user
space device drivers (USDD).=20
