Next time, if I can figure out this diff and patch thing I will. The doc I 
found only talks about single file patches though.

I know how to do patch files for single files, but not for complete 
directories. Do I need to keep 2 copies of my build directories - one with my 
new files and the other with the standard DL cvs? or can I do a cvs diff 
somehow?

Excuse my ignorance in these matters, but I'm not used to submitting patches.

If I try using 2 build directories, this command (from the man page) appears 
to work...
diff -Naur --exclude=tmp  build build.new/ > patchfile.diff

How have other contributors setup their build/development systems?

Thanks
