For developers: I realize that contributors sometimes send reversed
patches. Please don't reverse patches, because that confuses me very
much. If you'd like to make patches for a release version, do this:

$ diff -urN grub-0.5.xx grub-0.5.xx-with-your-patches

But don't do this:

$ diff -urN grub-0.5.xx-with-your-patches grub-0.5.xx

  However, please make patches for the CVS version, if possible. This
is safer because "cvs diff" doesn't reverse patches unless you specify
some options explicitly.

Thanks,
Okuji
