that's also my point of view.
imo, >= to HAL 0.5.11, since 0.5.10 was working (everybody confirm?)

if somebody can take over the trunk side, I'm fine. Otherwise, I'll do it.
it's simply a matter of creation a .fdi.in, conditioning the mentioned
field, testing the HAL version in check_hal.m4 and outputing the final
.fdi from the scripts/hal/Makefile.am
