Thanks for your patches, but they are awfully hard for me to use. A couple of
requests:

1:  Base them on the development version of CVS, especially for large patches. 
There
are instructions on how to retrieve that via anonymous CVS at
http://cvshome.org/dev/index.html#anon .
2:  Exclude generated file and files in the CVS admin directories (my diff has 
an
--exclude= option to facilitate this).
3:  Include ChangeLog entries.
4:  Mail the patches to the lists as MIME attachments or use a mail reader that
doesn't wrap your lines.
5:  Read and follow the rules in the HACKING file included with the CVS 
distribution.

It would be helpful if you'd resubmit these patches according to the above
guidelines.

Thanks again.

Derek
