I know what Bent is talking about. "Patch? No, thanks, my trousers are
OK. But what do you mean that make shouldn't start to run the program?
configure? Of course, I thought of that, just edit the first 6 sources
files, I tried to move everything to the top of the files."

Honestly, in the field of numerical simulation of high energy physics,
where I come from, changes are usually propagated in form of complete
files, not diffs. Most scientists don't know about diff/patch. and
some don't even know about mime and use manual uuencode ...
