Make a patch.  The easiest way is

diff -Naur old-clean-tree new-clean-tree >plplot.patch

*Look at that patch file to make sure the patch contains only the changes
you want.* That means the two trees must be clean (e.g., don't have any
compiled results or extra files in them that will mess up the diff).

Send the patch as an attachment to plplot_devel which is monitored by the
core team and lots of others.

I am right in the middle of substantially changing our configuration scheme
using automake, autoheader, libtool, etc.  The goal here is to eliminate all
the "jimmy-rigging", i.e., produce a configure script that "just works" over
a wide variety of Unix/Linux platforms.  There is quite a bit still to do to
obtain all functionality and it also needs thorough testing when completed,
but the preliminary results are looking good.  For details see my recent
posts to plplot_devel.
