Don't ship it!

dannyK says your brightness keys patch will be problematic with most current 
machines, as they do brightness control in hardware. apparently there's a hal 
property you could check to find that out;
otherwise you are potentially causing a double increment on every keypress.

The hal property is to find out if the brightness keys control brightness in 
hardware already.  only then do you want to start doing that in software.
