[Pkg-tpctl-devel] New release of thinkpad

[Thomas Hood]

Francesco:

I'd like to make a new thinkpad.  It's just a documentation update,
but it's an important one.  As of Linux 2.6.16 the following has to
be set in the .config in order for the thinkpad module to work:

    CONFIG_OBSOLETE_INTERMODULE=m

svn up to get the updated code.  Diff follows:
