Contributing code to Mobilizer
==============================

The preferred way to contribute code is to use create patches using
the 'diff' utility.

Say you want to add a line to the file 'source/configure.in'. Now
someone, somewhere forgot how autoconf works, so 'source/configure.in'
is broken:

    AC_INIT()
    AC_OUTPUT()

It so happens that you are a real autoconf wizard and you want to
change it to make it a bit more useful. Then the first thing to do is
to make a backup of the original:

    $ cd source
    $ cp configure.in configure.in.orig

Next you grab your trusty editor and fix configure.in:

    AC_INIT(mobilizer.doxy)
    AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

Finally you do:

    $ diff -u configure.in.orig configure.in > configure.in.patch

... and send the file configure.in.patch by email to
catchy@users.sourceforge.net, clearly stating what the patch does and
which release you derived it from.
