Interesting.  I wonder how true "A set of convoluted shell scripts that 
are slow to anger and impossible to debug." is.  I would think that at 
least part of automated building/testing of this would require gcc and 
something a bit more data-structure-fluent than shell, but I Could Be 
Wrong.

I might try this if it ever gets less hectic/annoying at work.  I've 
successfully fixed one bug in a 3rd-party kernel module, after all.[0]  
I'd rather not bother a human with kernel-newbieish mistakes if 
possible, so I hope most of this challenge doesn't require someone at 
this organization to do stuff.

[0] The module maintainer wrote a better patch 24 hours later.  Well, 
he had much more experience with the code, so that's no surprise.
