 Yeah. Fixed, committed and pushed.

 $ strace -e open ./raw
 open("/dev/raw/rawctl", O_RDWR)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
 open("/dev/rawctl", O_RDWR)             = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

 I have also removed the #ifdef OLD_RAW_DEVS (/dev/raw<N>) junk.


 BTW, it would be nice to refresh devices.txt according to your latest
 changes in udev.
