All,
    I have released libsmbios 0.13.5. This version has been pushed to
the Dell yum repo (http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/), Fedora Extras
6, FC-devel (F7), EPEL4, and EPEL5.  Source is at
http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/download/libsmbios/.

    Anybody who is interested in the XPS LED control should see the
recent posts by Oliver Eichler on the mailing list with DBUS GUI
control.

Notables:
    -- Inclusion of new dellLEDCtl binary. This binary allows control of
       the LEDs built into certain laptop models (XPS). Credit for this
       new bin is Ed H <eah1 at yahoo.com>. It was user contributed and
       will be user-supported as I dont have hardware to test changes
       on.
    -- renamed bins/ and supported-bins/ dirs to eliminate possible 
       confusion
    -- make doxygen now works.

TODO:
    -- Need to investigate report of dellWirelessCtl failure on 
       Latitude D420. Pending checkout of equipment from the hardware
       library.
