Hello list,

I have been going over Mike's list with patches for Seamonkey, trying
to assess what they do and if they are needed. Below is the list of
patches and my comments on them. The only ones that are used in the
current build, are the ones with the remark "used". The patches
dedicated to specific systems are truly out of my league so no
comments there. If there's anyone out there that knows more about
them, please enlighten me on their function and if they are needed.
Any comments/help/hint/pointers on files with other comments are also
very welcome.
I compared the patches against Seamonkey 1.1a.

Here's the list:
