> Could you take the GSOC patch, and submit it as your own patch? You seem to have the best luck with it. Remember to add this line to the email: submitted-by: Amadeusz Sławiński <amade at asmblr.net>. The original author told me it is ok to use his patches. 
I wonder if it can be done this way, can anyone else comment on this?
