I'm no expert on US law. If you feel that patches are off limits, a
reasonably detailed description of the needed changes should do fine
as well.

If it's not too huge (which I hope is the case), I think the list is
the right place. Otherwise, you can send it directly to me. Preferably
plain text, not zipped, but that doesn't matter very much.

Are these two types the same on any of those systems? It would make
things easier with a single fallback type.

.xT are temporaries, they are just there to make sure that the
.x-files are updated atomically. No make dependency mention any .xT
file.
