Well, it is pretty straight forward to move to libudev - which would be the 
right replacement for the libhal stuff we use at this place. The required udev 
calls are pretty obvious replacements for the libhal ones ...

>From my point of view, we could just switch over from libhla to libudev. Just 
because only a small set of now ancient distributions out there which do not 
have libudev but have libhal. Also hal was already maked obsolete and officially 
replaced by libudev at the time we gained this event device implementation on 
linux.
Any objections? Thorsten? Do you need that for anything just knowing about hal 
but not udev?
