Hey no offence intended.  I realize people are busy, that's why when I
saw that my patch wasn't very clear about the context (it only
mentioned the name of the file I patched, no directories or even the
package), I thought I'd try to make it a little easier on you/them by
re-creating the patch with that extra bit of info.  I was trying to be
helpful, not pushy.  And since I'm rather inexperience with making
patches, I figured I made a mistake the first time.  I also noticed in
the archives of this list that it was pretty low-volume, so I figured
in case there's a better list (perhaps another list supercedes this?),
then I should ask about it to be sure I'm at the right place.  Thanks
for letting me know I am in the right place.

Again, I asked questions out of ignorance, not malice or insult.

Cheers,
