Well, I'm starting to wonder if we really really need the whitelist to be
compiled into s2ram. In fact we only need to tell new users what s2ram options
they should use for their machines.
For example, if the docs say "please have a look into whitelist.txt to see
what s2ram options are known to work with your machine" etc., we'll be able
to maintain the whitelist as a separate document, IMHO, and the HAL or pm-tools
people can use some more sophisticated whitelisting independently.
Then, we could remove the "-f" option which conflicts with s2both's "-f". ;-)
Greetings,
Rafael
