Direct App Launch ACPI driver for Linux: Ver 1.0 is released

Supports button devices detected as PNP0C32 (Direct App Launch) under Linux allowing you to start your computer and quickly launch applications without having to load the entire system. This is similar to Vista's Hostart(TM) technology.

As the driver is very simple and there are not reports of problems, we are bumping to stable version 1.0.

We also added an example script to launch applications when your session starts.
It is also possible to boot your linux box directly into your preferred application without having to load every app in init.d, however as you can guess this is highly distro dependent.

We are open to suggestions.
