Never mind.  Looks like the issue is just that a few files don't
include <linux/sched.h> (some do, some don't) and this is apparently
just a difference between Lenny and Squeeze (I saw someone on the web
providing a debian allstar install script that claimed to work Just
Fine installing zaptel, so it must just be a change in a later kernel
revision).

The files needing #include <linux/sched.h> are kernel/pciradio.c,
kernel/wctdm.c, and kernel/zaptel-base.c   Without this include, they
complain about set_current_state and TASK_INTERRUPTABLE not having
been declared.  Since several other modules already include
<linux/sched.h>, it's probably a safe thing to do to make this change
in the repository for zaptel, I'd wager.

Some of the other kernel modules are failing to compile, one that
complains abut netif_rx_schedule --- this appears to have gone away in
the 2.6.32 kernel.  Fortunately, I don't need the module that has that
problem, and don't need to spend time finding how to fix 'em.  Fixing
the three above and deselecting the modules I don't need seems to get
me going.
