  i have one minor observation about the test utility.  in
udev-test.pl:

                if ($rules->{exp_add_error}) {
                        print " as expected\n";
                } else {
                        print "\n";
                        system("tree $udev_root");     <-- this line
                        print "\n";
                        $error++;
                        sleep(1);
                }

  obviously, if something goes wrong during the test, that script
presumes that the "tree" utility is installed.  on a stock ubuntu
10.04 system, it isn't so that system() call fails.

  is it worth verifying that "tree" is installed first before running
the test?
