As a very small example of what I mean, please find attached
changed Coordinator.h & Coordinator.cpp (from today's CVS).
Basically I removed the USE_THREADS condition (per the on-line 
TODO entry "remove threads on the client" - BTW a TODO list
posted, say, monthly on Grub-develop would be nice) and added a
few (more-or-less critical :-) ) comments.
As I expected, a number of problems presented themselves: :-/
 - I shouldn't be posting whole files, only diffs - but I don't
know how to work on my changes *and* preserve the CVS version at 
the same time. What is the normal CVS setup for that? Is copying the
whole source tree before changing anything (which I forgot to
do :-( ) really the simplest way?
 - The changed client compiles but that really isn't enough - how
do I test? I noticed a number of test files/executables in the package -
is there some harness to run them?
