	Hello,

	in order to properly review the result of your hard work, we need the changes 
you done as patches. Either against the version you started to modify, or as a 
git patchset against latest version, which is the best solution. On your site, 
I only found the full sources, may you have a look into it ?

Regards,
	Stef
