building dkms source packages using mkdsc

[Chris J Arges]

Mario,
Sweet, I've made the modifications manually after running dkms mkdsc.
However, I'll figure out how to put that into the template files and
send you a patch when I can and after testing on my end.

Martin,
Of course I'll send them upstream first. : )

Now to just find some downtime to hack on this!
