Just downloaded the source and had a look at it. I think you should
change the "configure" script as well, not just configure.in.

One possibility is to grep for "kernel" or "2.6" (within word boundaries
but there's no backslash on my keyboard :-( ) and replace "2.6" in all
checks for kernel version with "3.0".

Kind of crude, but will get it done, I think.
