• Includes newclock4 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock4

• Includes libcec double-key suppression
  
• Includes libcec CEC Standby Fix
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes CONFIG_COREDUMP=y to allow creation of coredumps (see here)
  
• Includes PR:139: Update libXBMC_gui.h
