To the extent I understand all this, it sounds reasonable, albeit
complex. You might want to consider setting up a new project on
sourceforge, google code, etc. but I'll leave that up to you and swills.
Thanks for answering my questions.

Hi Doug,
The last proper file release from upstream was 0.0.6 in November 2009.
Since then, I've fixed a number of things (from typos to build fixes for
some platforms), supported new platforms (mac osx, I originally added
win32 support but the author then re-wrote that), etc
Any help in getting the patches merged would be much appreciated, I
haven't had much luck so far. I used to send piecemeal patches with full
description to the author, but since almost none of them got merged,
recently I've started posting large all-in-one diffs instead. (they're
not even all from me these patches, but I end up maintaining them)
Also, another tool I maintain won't work without the patches I added, so
if you ship the upstream version then I'll have to fork it to make it
work with my tool (I really really would rather not).
Cheers
Antoine

I'm confused. Why are we not using the sources from the "regular"
location, and patching to make them work for us? And has anyone
contacted the upstream about the changes and why they are necessary?
This whole thing seems very confusing to me (but that's not saying
much). :)
