hal and devkit/udev

[Mark Ellis]

Hi All

I've recently made some commits to

libsynce
librapi2
trayicon
synce-kpm
sync-engine
connector

to get rid of our hal dependency. As you all probably know, hal is
deprecated, which is typical since we only recently started using it :)

The first five packages just have relatively minor changes to talk to
the new dccm, I've deliberately kept it to a minimum to do a point
release in about a week.

connector is the replacement for synce-hal, is mostly based on
synce-hal, and can still be built as synce-hal, in fact at the moment
hal is still default and you need to pass --enable-udev to configure. It
conflicts with synce-hal, so remove that first.

If anyone is up for it, please install from svn and give it a test, or
if you use ubuntu I've uploaded to the trunk PPA. rndis works, I haven't
tested serial yet but I will be shortly, bluetooth will probably be off
the table for the moment. I haven't sent this to -users deliberately.

For the next proper release, I plan to combine libsynce, librapi2 and
connector into synce-core, but for now I just wanted to get this out.

Hmm, encountering some strangeness with serial devices ...
