Re: [Bug 403509] New: hal-kernel-includes patch does not apply cleany

[Ed Martin <edman007x mac com>]

I'm on Slackware-current, and i didn't need it at all for GNOME 2.16 
(default stuff went relativity cleanly, at least i never had to 
uncomment any lines to make the hal compile like what i needed to do in 
2.14), i would assume this applies to GNOME 2.17 too, but haven't tested it
