Hmm, I copied that part from the previous version.

It was also something which i didn't like and just answered now when it
asked me if it should create the /dev/modem like.
I guess its time to remove that part and also the second part of patch-ad.

Feel free to change that. The documentation about PKG_SYSCON* is too confusing
and i couldn't find out how to use it.

Like the current Makefile uses OWN_DIRS_PERMS and i couldn't find anything in
packages.txt about that.

I guess the following has to be changed, but its not possible with the
current documentation:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --enable-cfg-dir=${PREFIX}/etc/minicom

PKG_SYSCONFSUBDIR=      minicom
EGDIR=                  ${PREFIX}/share/examples/minicom

PKG_GROUPS=             dialer
PKG_USERS=              uucp:dialer
SPECIAL_PERMS=          ${PREFIX}/bin/minicom uucp dialer 4755
OWN_DIRS_PERMS=         ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR} uucp dialer 0755
CONF_FILES_PERMS=       ${EGDIR}/minicom.users ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/minicom.users \

You did run it as root?

Aside from that problem, does it work?
