I don' t want to start any flame war, but i must say: I can imagine somebody
wants dvb api 1.0 support, but I' m not so sure about support of linux < 2.6 .

PS: On the other hand - to answer original Christophe's question - I would
prefer to release before any additional addon. If current version is stable
enough, of course (I' m sorry but other job busy me so much and I'm not
able to check current svn before end of month).
