Currently the madwifi-ng ebuild installs the /usr/include/madwifi headers used
by wpa_supplicant and hostapd. This means that wpa_supplicant has to
conditionally depend on madwifi-ng, which is in itself nasty because madwifi-ng
has dependencies on kernel stuff -- this is an inconvenience when building
release media etc.

I think the headers should be installed by the madwifi-ng-tools ebuild and
wpa_supplicant/hostapd dependencies should be updated.

I just whipped up some patches to do as requested in this bug.  They work for
me with the exception of hostapd-0.5.7-r1.patch which I did not test.

In the case of hostapd/wpa_supplicant ebuilds these changes should probably
just go into the existing ebuilds instead of a rather meaningless revbump. 
Only submitted the patches this way for consistency/testing/etc.

the madwifi side of things is done.

Now madwifi-ng-tools don't emerge due to file collisions with madwifi-ng. A
blocker against older versions?

That was left out in the cvs commit.  There is also a format error in the einfo
messages at the end.

A blocker is a bad thing because most users do not know how to correctly handle
it. Besides it braks automated updates.

Maybe we can remove the conflicting files in preinst?
