New devices

Hi,

Don't you think it would be nice to have a script, like
/dev/MAKEDEV (from Slackware), that could update the /dev/* automatically,
for the latest kernels ?

Maybe something like that already exists, but there is no mention
of that in Documentation/devices.t*. I did such a script, but it is
quickly made, and not [yet] universal.

Something else:
I noticed, after updating my /dev/cua*, that the /dev/cua[44-63],
seem to be not well supported (kernel 1.3.70). (Maybe they only work well
with multi-serial cards ?)
