I am totally fine if the SuSe driver winds up being a bunch of
compile-time changes to the existing code, rather than a completely
different driver.
I suspect you will need to fiddle with the XSL stylesheets, too, but
that's something you'll discover as you go.

selection happens at compile time, not run time (since I don't want
netcf being in the business of discovering OS/platform at runtime)
