since a customer was trying to use this module the only feedback I can give
right now is that there are still some fundamental bugs in that work.
Just running it with some intuitive parameters (without having a dvb
device connected) caused
it to hang.

./vtunerc.i686  -c 1
vtunerc: [5210 ../../vtunerc.c:349] debug: added frontend mode DVB-C
as mode 0, searching for tuner types 2
vtunerc: [5210 ../../vtunerc.c:346] error: unknown tuner mode
specified: 1 allow values are: -s -S -s2 -S2 -c -t
it just never returned.

DMESG:

ps fax | grep vtunerc:

 5210 pts/4    S+     0:00  |           \_ [vtunerc.i686]

that way it's not good enough for inclusion yet anyway.
