tpctl 3.8 looks only at /dev/thinkpad/thinkpad by default.
For 4.0 I'll change it so that it checks both
/dev/thinkpad/thinkpad and /dev/thinkpad.  At this point
I just wanted to make sure that we had licked the main
problem.  I'm glad we have.

The MAKEDEV utility should be changed so that it creates
/dev/thinkpad/thinkpad instead of /dev/thinkpad.  I have
just filed the necessary bug report.
