| IMPORTANT: this makes things consistent, it also means
| that if you have chars > 127 in file names _and_ you are
| running unsigned char little endian default (probably a tiny tiny
| number of mips users only)
you will need to archive and recreate
| those files. X86 users are _NOT_ affected.
o Add the infrastructure for ac97_ops ready for
digital audio etc (me)
