Hi Mario

I made some improvements and bug fixes for DKMS. They are based on the
master branch of the git repository at linux.dell.com.

There are two smallish fixes I found along the way while writing my
code. First is a fix to the code that removes the build directory after
building the module and the second is a fix for a wrong check which
resulted in an error message from sed.

The improvements are two new configuration settings for framework.conf.
The first allows you to choose to use symlinks instead of copying
modules to /lib/modules and the second allows you to always build for
all kernels with the common postinst script. See the commit messages for
more details.

Please pull my changes from git://github.com/imedias/dkms. If you prefer
I can also send you patches or provide individual branches for the fixes
and improvements.

I would be very glad if you could merge my commits into your repository
and release a new version of DKMS for downstream distributions. I'm also
willing to fix any problems you spot in my commits. I did quite
extensive testing on Debian systems.
