The packetwin probably has a user base in double figures at most. Submit
a patch to rename it as "ptwin" in 2.1.11x and nobody is going to get
too upset about it. Common sense before fairness I think. Also its
consistant with scsi naming.

Actually I build everything I can build but don't own with 'M' for all
the -ac builds. So that patch if someone submits it will help here at
least.
