Probably just need to put then all in mint/drivers or something
like that. The user or install script can then just move the ones
they need into mint/xx.yy.zz

I started writing an install script for the original daily build.

I twas intended to be passed the name of the tarball and the machine
name then:

1 unpack the tarball
2 make a copy of the existing mint/xx.yy.zz folder
3 update the copy folder with the new files
4 replace the existing mint folder with the new one

I didn't get very far and I left it while the file structure is changing.
