So, you have your normal module makefile:
obj-m := foo.o
Then, you have a script (or just execute from command line in the module
directory)
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
Lo and behold, out the other end comes foo.ko

Hey, cool beans! I've never built a kernel module that way, I've
always had the kernel source tree installed to build it. Perhaps thats
because I'm an old codger who learned to compile linux kernels on the
0.99 version kernels...:-)
Now I'll have to figure out how to build it the way you suggest!
Thanks soo much!!
