Took a bit of time, but change is commited (in trunk of dahdi-linux).

Right now the dahdi-linux Makefile will not generate any static Device
files. There is a separate script to generate them:

  http://svn.digium.com/svn/dahdi/linux/trunk/build_tools/make_static_devs

Which means there would no longer be a need for setting DYNFS when
building as non-root.

See also in the README:

  http://docs.tzafrir.org.il/dahdi-linux/#_static_device_files

Any need for further changes?
