Patch Format

Your patch should include:

*a description of what was wrong and what is now better (and now broken
    :).
   
*your contact information ( Name/Handle and e-mail )
   
*the patch in diff -u format (it happens...)
   

cvs diff -u works great for the common case where a file is edited. However, if
you add or remove a file cvs diff will not report that correctly so make sure
you explicitly take care of this rare case.

For additions: mention that you have some new files and include them as either
separate attachments or by appending diff -Nu of them to any cvs diff -u output
you may have.

For removals, list the files.
