Yeah, it's true. I've let a lot of patches slide :|.

What about a module system? Something where you could write a bar
module and a module that loads several commands. That way rp would be
more modular and less *ahem* nasty :). And you could swap in the mods
you want...including swapping out the core mods.

This seems a bit better than having patches laying around.
