OK, consider this an official statement.  I will gladly accept patches from
authors or maintainers of sources that have been or will be posted to
comp.sources.games.  I will also give patches higher priority in posting
than new stuff.  I don't care how long after the original source posting
you wait before sending me a patch or patches.  I believe that timeliness
is often most important if a "major" bug prevents lots of people from
compiling or running a program.

As an aside, I also plan to start using the "Patch-To:" auxillary header
on new patch files submitted for posting.
