I, and probably all other developers, rather tell you how to make
a patch than to do some typing according to your instructions.

Ok, here we go:
   * copy the unchanged script to SCRIPTNAME.old
   * make your changes
   * cd /..../build/
   * diff -u subdir/SCRIPT.old subdir/SCRIPT > outfile
   * kwrite outfile
   * copy and paste the whole content to a mail to devil-linux-developer
     don't forget to set the subject to "[PATCH] ...."
     and add some comments before the patch

PS: Set you mailclient to not break long line to not destroy the patch
if it has long lines.
