All,

As usually happens when sending this stuff out I did not tidy it as much 
as I would have liked.  I will be happy to make some of the changes.  
But firstly I started out using usr/lib for the libraries but noticed 
that some libraries had been flattened to just /lib so this is what I 
did for the ALSA stuff in the staging dir.

Also a comment about basename nonsense might make sense if you have been 
working with build-root for many months and know every part inside out.  
But I have been using build root at home in my spare time which consists 
of about the last 6-weekends so please explain what you mean by 
basename?  I am happy to comply with a more modern standard if I know 
what it is.  I think I might have used zlib as my starting point when I 
firstly started compiled to get the ALSA lib library integrated into 
build root.  This might explain some of the interesting coding in the patch.
