(udev-009 already has a bulk of these changes). Here are the important additions/changes: * Postponed reading directories and attributes until absolutely necessary. * Structure elements that are lists or references to structures are not populated by default. APIs have now been provided to populate them. * All "open" functions that take absolute path as argument now have a "_path" suffix. * Provided attribute "refresh" functions to read in updated attribute values. * Changes for klibc compatibility. * Provided APIs to retrieve device/class_device "parent". * Added manpages for lsbus and systool (Thanks to Martin Pitt).
