lib Acked-by: Neil Horman <nhorman at tuxdriver.com> Tested-by: Waterman Cao <waterman.cao at intel.com> I've added a doxygen comment @file in order to generate the according entry. Makefiles and configs are merged with the main patch (no need to split here). Applied for version 1.7.0. Thanks -- Thomas
