The drivers/Makefile.am file lists all of the source files that need
to be considered for compiling and dependency checking.

Since hp.c is a serial driver, just check for the "serial drivers'
comment and add a line like the following:

hp_SOURCES = hp.c

If it uses any math library functions, there are several examples
showing how to add "-lm" to the LD flags.

Eventually, you will want to add it to the SERIAL_DRIVERLIST variable
so that it is built automatically.

In order to automatically pick up any changes to Makefile.am or the
other build files, you probably want to pass
"--enable-maintainer-mode" to ./configure as well as the
"--with-drivers=hp" flag. You will need recent versions of autoconf
and automake.

Thanks for taking the time to update this driver! Email the list if
you have any other questions.
