V4L/DVB building procedures are based at the use of Makefile rules.
Those rules are close tho the ones at Linux Kernel, to allow an easier
usage. 

=======================================================================
Quick building procedure is:
	make all
======================================================================

For those that may want more than just build all stuff there are some
other interesting parameters to make:

======================
Normal building rules:
all		- build all modules

clean		- Cleans compiled files from the tree,
		  but keeping the latest
		  used configuration and kernel version

distclean	- Cleans compiled files from the tree,
		  latest used configuration and kernel
		  version.

default		- Continues building the latest module selection
		  This is the behavior when just typed:	
			make

install		- Installs all modules at kernel's default dir
		  for V4L/DVB. Requires root access.

=======================
Module selection rules:
(Those may require write access to kernel tree)

allmodconfig	- Called by make all. Selects all modules that are known
		  to compile against the kernel version used.

xconfig		- Generate a xconfig menu. Requires full
		  kernel source, since it depends on kernel's
		  qconf stript;

gconfig		- Generate a qt menu. Requires full
		  kernel source, since it depends on kernel's
		  gconf stript;

config		- Generate a text-mode menu. Requires full
		  kernel source, since it depends on kernel's
		  conf stript;

menuconfig	- Generate a ncurses menu. Requires full
		  kernel source, since it depends on kernel's
		  mconf and lxconfig stripts;

release		- Allows changing kernel version. 
		  Typical usage is:
			make release VER=2.6.12-18mdk
			(to force compiling to 2.6.12-18mdk)
		  This will work only if 
			/lib/modules/2.6.12-18mdk/build/
		  points to that kernel version
		  To use current kernel version instead:
			make release

======================
Module handling rules:
(require root access)

insmod		- inserts all modules from V4L/DVB tree

rmmod		- removes all modules from V4L/DVB tree

reload		- removes then reinserts all modules

===================
Tree merging rules:

ivtv		- enable merged ivtv build, using the latest ivtv sources
		  from ivtvdriver.org (requires subversion)

cx88-ivtv	- enable cx88-blackbird ivtv API emulation

ivtv-update	- update ivtv sources

ivtv-install	- install ivtv and/or cx88-ivtv modules (requires root access)

==========================================
Patch preparation and tree handling rules:
(used by developers)

kernel-links	- Generate links to V4L/DVB at kernel tree.
		  Requires write access to kernel tree.

cardlist	- Updates Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.*

update		- updates the tree from master repository

commit		- commits the change, asking for a commit msg

push		- sends outgoing stuff to master repository
