Wrong. It installs 49 file. The Makefile by default installs a 50 file. And our 
49 file is our own, written by me and florin. We did so because we wanted 
something that fitted lunar's needs.
 
If you don't like it, you can still create your own file [00--48]* file to 
override it. That's exactly the point.

Our rules are run before the generic 50 rules.

Let's get this straight: you or anybody else has always the credit for their 
change in the commit log (see for yourself). When you download moonbase, do you 
see any credit for each of the developer's changes? No. You just get moonbase. 
End Of Story. 

I will not apply directly your patch, and I refuse to explain why again.

Florin has a camera that he tested. That was exactly why he did the last commit.

Simple and short: no. Explained above.

BTW, I will be away all weekend, so I won't be able to answer mail nor do any 
commits.
