Due to the modest volume of patches we get on the mailing list and
because all recent patches that have come in are rather hairy, I am
writing up a summary of how to create patches for the mailing list.

Diffing
===================================
Use 'diff -u' or 'cvs diff -u' from within the Libs/ClanLib-0.5 directory. 
This is contextual diff, it provides more information so it easier to
examine the changes before applying.

Submitting
===================================
Patches should be compressed (not everybody in on cable or DSL)
Prefered formats are: Gzip, Zip.  In that order as Gzip provides
superior compression.

Please submit patches using our sourceforge patch tracker:

	* go to www.clanlib.org
	* click on "Patches"
	* fill in Category (ClanLib/Hermes)
	* fill in Group (0.5.0, 0.5.1, 0.5.2, Current CVS etc)
	* fill in the summary
	* fill in the detailed description
	* last but not least!!! *CHECK* "Upload & Attach File",
        browse to the file and <SUBMIT>

Describing
===================================
You should describe what your patch does.  Please no 'This fixes a bug'.
Tell us which bug, in what component. Generally, be descriptive without
being needless verbose.
