Cool.  Will do.

I've got to go through the last year and a half of the archive, since the fix 
I needed was a year old but hadn't been merged yet, and in the past few weeks 
a couple interesting patches have floated by, who knows what else the archive 
has?

Oh, and I dunno if this ever made it to the list:
  http://www.dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/

I've seen people submit patches as vi scripts, and I've done it myself as sed, 
but his patches to tcc are written in _perl_ and it'll take some staring to 
figure out whether or not they've already been applied. :)
