done.

pretty much done -- right now users can get into unbuildable situations,
I obviously want to avoid.


I also decided to merge compat and compat-drivers -- right now I see no
value in them being combined. I therefore created a new backports.git
tree.

Note that this is very very raw. It doesn't even have the ability to
*build* the drivers yet, which is kinda the whole point ... But I had to
start somewhere, and obviously that was at step 1: building the
sources :-)

It's all here, if anyone wants to risk a look.

I'll continue next week, most likely.
