I think it is more worthwhile to explain to people with such interest what
steps are required to modify the standard kernel.  Scripts which actually
do the patching are helpful, though the downloading and possibly compiling
should be explained in text.  Charles has doen a pretty good job of this
in his Dachstein kernel readme, though there is always room for
improvement.
