I tore out a fair amount of hair coming up with a method by which LiS could 
transmogrify a .o into a .ko; and making it easy to use; and making it work 
on several different 2.6 kernel versions.  The kernel build procedure is 
supposed to be able to do this itself but I could never get it to work as 
documented.  And, as with all things "kernel", the procedure varied from 
version to version.

So if you are going to do it yourself, you are literally taking your fate 
into your own hands.
