Doh!  Sorry, what I meant was that (if I'm understanding this right!)
the AML interpreter being embedded in the kernel in 2.4.x is Intel's
platform-independent solution to the problem of providing support for
ACPI under Unix, so that you don't have to code up ACPI stuff
independently for the vagaries of each Unix variant's kernel.

So, it's good for you, but not necessarily optimal for any particular 
Unix variant, right ?  e.g. this could perhaps be simplified 
somewhat..

  [root@porcupine acpi]# pwd
  /usr/src/linux-2.4.3-ac9-swsusp-jogutils/drivers/acpi
  [root@porcupine acpi]# wc -l `find . -type f` | grep total
    59435 total

My gripe is taken care of now, though - swsusp is working :-)

Cheers,

Martin
