This looks like a good start.  I think the way this kind of thing
should work in general is that the system detects if you have the
hardware, and dynamically installs support for it.  We'd need some
database mapping things like USB ids to packages.  Networking is an
exception; we should include as many drivers/tools for
networking-related functionality as possible so that the system can be
bootstrapped.

Basically: if you have a GPS chip, gypsy gets installed and runs.  If
you don't, it doesn't.
