Hi Risto,

Would you be kind enough to list the steps you use to
rebuild and install the ati_remote module ?

You can leave out the editing steps, if you like.  I'm just
interested in how you get the ati_remote module built and 
installed.  

Having tried in the past to use the two-step process of

#make modules
#make modules_install

and watching ALL of the modules get rebuilt, I'm hoping
that your method might be clean and simple enough to
just process the single element, ati_remote.

Thanks for any help you might share.
