DKMS 2.0.19 is out.  For those watching closely, v2.0.18 was out for a
few minutes, I found an RPM spec file bug I really wanted to fix, so I
did and now here's v2.0.19.  I'm thankful that integers are infinite.

The big improvement here is that Fedora rawhide (will be Fedora 9) now
includes rpm hooks, similar to Ubuntu's triggers, to invoke the DKMS
autoinstaller at the end of an RPM transaction when a new kernel is
installed.  This means we don't have to wait for a reboot to invoke
the dkms_autoinstaller - it is now invoked right after a new kernel is
installed, so can rebuild drivers immediately and include them in the
initial ramdisk.

In addition, the mkrpm command now tells you what failed when it
fails, to ease debugging of your spec files.

I've built this for Fedora rawhide, and will build it for F7 and F8
shortly.  Watch for it in the updates-testing repositories.

For Ubuntu Hardy, I've missed the deadline for including this version.
But that's OK, Hardy has 2.0.17.6.  There is only one change here
relevant to Hardy: with 2.0.17.6 and earlier you should invoke the
mkdeb command as:
  LANG=C dkms mkdeb ...
to avoid the wrong date string getting put in your debian/changelog file.
