hey ike, so you want to take the third party driver and intergreate it
into your source tree so when you do a make world it get's included as
well?  that sounds pretty awesome.  i wounder if folks on
freebsd-hardware@ might be of help?  altho i bet you may be able to get
it built as a module by putting the source in /usr/src/sys/modules then
editing the Makefile in there.  don't know if this is helpfull but it
may be worth hacking on until you get a definitive response from a
commiter of something...
