I think there is a way in CVS to merge branches eventually, no?  Anyway, 
simple bug fixes usually can be handled by "patch" with realignment, but 
something like ANSIfying the code would certainly cause problems for a 
large percentage of the patches in SourceForge.

This would be nice.  I'd opt for clearing the patch page over the course 
of a couple months.  Then ANSIfy and restructer code.
