This can be useful when one wants to port some legacy hotplug usermaps 
to udev rules painlessly. Maybe it shouldn't be installed even?

It works for me (should be coldplug capable too upon call to udevstart). 
Do we switch to this stuff (and add O: hotplug?)

Needs kernel.hotplug=/sbin/udevsend

allowing upstream updates)
