HCL: 1st step, PCI database

I often heard one of biggest Debian problem is that Debian doesn't provide HCL - Hardware Compatibility List. It's too hard work to maintain it as same as Microsoft does, but indeed HCL is useful for normal users who won't love troubleshooting hardware compatibility. :)

As 1st step I made PCI/driver matching database, http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/. You can test by putting your "lspci -n" to the box.

Currently this database gathers informations from pci.ids of pciutils, modules.pcimap of kernel 2.6.14-686-smp, discover1-data, and alsa-common.
