Yes, I agree that this would be an improvement.  I'd just like to do it
for all the drivers at once rather than have some of the drivers set up
one way and some another.

Yes, and of course users will still need to ensure that the appropriate
bus driver for their platform is availiable on their system, though that
could be loaded later.  Still, we could make life a little easier for
some users so it seems a worthwhile thing to do even though it doesn't
solve everything.
