Updating PCI vendors database

It looks like our /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors list (used only by pciconf as
far as I can tell) has become rather stale.  We also appear to be tracking
sources which no longer exist.

Would anyone object if I updated this list to source the same database used by
Linux distributions at http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids?

It helps that our pciconf looks to be compatible with that format.  We just
ignore subvendor and subdevice, but it doesn't appear to matter that the file
contains this information.

I could cull the subvendor/subdevice from the list though.

Any views?

Reason I'm looking into this is because one of my customers would like their
name to be correct when I import the driver I've been working on for them. :)
