Why not always put your abstractions in the same directory as the patch? (Or in a subdirectory if you want to organize them that way.) It makes things more modular: e.g., you can just compress the containing directory and shoot it off rather than sending a separate attachment for abstractions and have them copy your manually-entered search patch settings (which most likely will not be the same across platforms).
But sending a separate attachment also makes things more modular, as it allows using the exact same abstraction collection over several different patches. As those object-classes (abstractions) become more familiar, they become something that doesn't have to be relearned per-project and it becomes a common vocabulary across projects.
It's two different kinds of modularity. _______________________________________________________________________ | Mathieu Bouchard ---- tél: +1.514.383.3801 ---- Villeray, Montréal, QC
