Installation of comedi-0.7.67

Hey,

I wanted to update my comedi installation to the latest version(0.7.67) so
that I could use the comedi_calibrate utility for my PCI-DAS1602/16 board.

Once I downloaded comedi-0.7.67 and comedilib-0.7.21, I was able to
configure them correctly. However the object files were not copied to
/lib/modules/<kernel>/comedi until I did a 'depmod -ae'.

I noticed that this was commented out in the Makefile. Why? Was it ok for
me to do it?

Then I had to still copy the comedi.o and kcomedilib.o objects to the
right directory under /lib/moduels/<kernel>/comedi/comedi before
everything worked.

After I ran the /usr/local/bin/comedi_calibrate utility I noticed that the
installation misses creating a directory.

/usr/local/var/comedi/calibrations/<board_specific_file> is supposed to be
created at the end of the utility. However the comedi directory is missing
which has to be created.

Earlier, David Schleef had said that this version is a TEST version not to
be used in production environment. Is the CVS version now more stable
version. When can we expect a stable production version?
