Isn't *that* trivial though as it has no vbe support ...

Ok.

The vgabios git tree doesn't look like a straight "git cvsimport".  It 
has fancy author names, no *.bin commits and different hashes than my 
self-created cvsimport.  It is probably easiest if you just pull 0.6c 
version into the repo and I'll rebase my patches to that then.

We might also cherry-pick af92284bec7ddbd76ddd105c40718627dda3407e into 
stable-0.12 to reduce the chance of unpleasant surprises in case someone 
combines the latest vgabios with stable.
