Hi,

I just uploaded a new version, changes:

	* Announce activate/deactivate events.
	* Cleanup kernel & userland code.
	* Document event demon (manpage).
	* More detailed README, simple examples.

Next, I'look at enhancing devmon(8)'s expressive power. Motivation:

	Devices are organized in a tree by autoconf(9). Currently,
	devmon(8) is capable of matching individual nodes quite well.
	It might be desirable to further precise device specification
	by providing parent hierarchy (regular expressions, again).
	Configuration format would likely change.

Again, comments are welcome -- I'd like to eventually send-pr this (not
anytime soon, though).

	Regards,
