        src/sbin/devpubd/hooks: 01-makedev

Log Message:
add the device publish daemon, written by jmcneill@.

listens on drvctl for new devices and invokes MAKEDEV for them.

missing:
  - manual page
  - rc.d script
  - more testing

but it works well enough to make new disk nodes appear in /dev when
netbsd sees them and they're missing.  you will need to make sure
you have a new /dev/MAKEDEV for this to work properly (postinstall
should handle this normally, of course.)

thanks jared!
