OK, thanks.
It's still a bit unprofessional *not* to have a readme
for the "a" version, even if it's only a few lines...

And finaly, he didn't say what that "certain unreleased
device family" is ? Something interesting ? Could someone
run a "diff" on the "non-a" vs. "a" support files ? :-):-)

An unreleased device *family* seems as a major new release,
doesn't it ?
