Yes.  Also using the FC3 binary rpm directly, and using a static linked
FC3 pilot-xfer.

There is a narrow window which I can hit now I know I am aiming for
getting to /dev/ttyUSB1 as early as possible with any of those.  I have
only been attempting to get it working at all so just using the list
function - rather than seriously using pilot-xfer to do work.

Personally I think that we should just drop everything back down to a
0.11.x pilot-tools release and use a tool chain which basically works
throughout - although it will be painful to release a down-reved update
due to packaging side effects.

Maybe I should open a bug against udev/hotplug to see why things are so
damn slow now.
