Hey Henrik, we might could use your help a little bit in updating the  
Mactel Packages for Jaunty (ones that need to be updated anyway). I  
had a whack at one (hid-dkms) and it kept having a compile error, and  
I didn't look to much further into it.

mainly the macbook(pro)5,x guys will need some packages.
