_hd4000.patch
Can you apply it to next release?

A don't see gma.c in source, why?
Can you add HD4000 support to latest chameleon.

This patch also works for HD2500.  The HD4000 & HD2500 are both 
Intel Gen7 GPU.
Attached is an up-to-date variant I use.  The diff is from 
trunk@2128.
gma.c is in i386/libsaio/gma.c.
If I get permission from admins, I'm willing to incorporate this 
patch.
It adds a plist entry
<key>IGPlatformId<key>
<string>(number 0-11)</string>
to be used with GraphicsEnabler for this GPU.

I added HD4000 support to my branch (Chimera version 1.11) back in 
July 2012. I don't know why it was never added to the trunk.

WHy is this an else if.
SHouldn't this just be at the end of all the model checking in a 
separate if so that the key can be parsed for those 2 models?

Anyway i've committed a modified version that does what i said 
above. please let me know if it's inccorect as i dont' have on of

Just for the record:
- The 12 in the strncmp is a BUG, it should be 22 :)
- Meklort checked in a better fix for this at r2152, but didn't 
close the issue.
- I noticed the bug with the 12 after r2152, so I didn't think it 
mattered anymore, and didn't bother to update.
- In r2152, the patch was only applied to HD4000.  In r2179 it's now 
also applied to HD2500 - which it should.
- The issue is fixed :)
- FWIW, there's a memory-leak in gma.c in the allocation of the 
local variable 'device' in setup_gma_devprop.  This was fixed in the 
version I uploaded, but it's back in r2179.
