I don't have CVS write access yet[1] - but I do have the CVS tree
checked out. I'd like to wait with applying patches until I've got
CVS write access.
I'm now downloading the xemacs-patches archives from july to november
1999.
I think it's better to take a full month each.
How do you want to handle this? Sending an email with a patch to
Xemacs-beta asking if it is ok - and then apply it?
