Thank you, that's quite clear.  It looks more and more like a personal 
war :-(  You would have thought that by now it would be possible for the 
kernel maintainers and Nemosoft to have a dialogue with regard to changing 
the hook - after all, it's not new.  There seems to be an unwillingness to 
talk.  Apportioning blame is not helpful.  It's hard to see, though, how they 
can be persuiaded to get together on this.
