I'm a bit torn on this.  I see the gain in that it simplifies the
build and makes patches smaller.  It also allows include files (eg,
config.h) to be pulled into the asl code so that symbolic names can be
shared.  Iasl is easily available from most distros, but it isn't
installed by default.  I don't want to scare off any casual users that
download the git tree and attempt to compile.
