+This patch allows beep to be compiled against a different set of Linux headers outside of the normal tool chain by supporting CFLAGS and also allows beep to be installed in a non-root location.

+This patch replaces CLOCK_TICK_RATE with PIT_TICK_RATE, in name only. 
+The use of PIT_TICK_RATE is historic with the KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE 
+ioctls; howwever, it used to be the platform-dependent CLOCK_TICK_RATE 
+between kernel version 2.6.12 and 2.6.36, which was a minor but 
+unfortunate ABI change that ended up polluting, at least in name, beep 
+as well.
