- I think it would be helpful if you'd create a patch against the patched
- source... It would be a bit difficult to undo a previous bad patch
- (i.e., create a reverse patch for a bad patch), especially if it came
- from Juergen's earlier megapatch and not from me wrongly applying newer
- patches.

- In addition to your suggestions, what about making this turn-off-able from
