But does not include the occassional new variant of BSD that comes up,
like DragonflyBSD, or the hybrids, like GNU/kFreeBSD. (Not that I'm
sure off hand what the $HOST_OS for either of those look like.)

The `uname -s` value for Dragonfly as per config.guess:
<PRE>
*:DragonFly:*:*)
echo ${UNAME_MACHINE}-unknown-dragonfly`echo ${UNAME_RELEASE}|sed -e 's/[-(].*//'`
exit ;;

As it is today, the script would skip the input-joystick driver for this OS. That's the confusion I am trying to clear, with the reviewers help. <BR>

Looking at this driver's configuration, it should work on Dragonfly. As for the GNU hybrids, the value returned by `uname -m` is "GNU/*" so I can use that to cover those cases. That would complete the list with today's best current knowledge. Some maintenance in the future is unavoidable but should be reasonable.<BR>
