sorry Grzegorz
but i will *need* to recompile the kernel sooner or later:

I work with :
win4lin and Vmware

and both require kernel recompilation
in the case of vmware it creates modules - no recompilation require

vmware as it stands is generating error when i run
vmware-config.pl

most likely due to kernel unfriendly to compile.

vmware
win4lin
nvidia
and evolution-1.4

are the most important thing for me for a distro
i like PLD i dont want to give up
but i also need those above for my job also
