not sure how to change this.

=46WIW, my current method is actually closer to how Linus used to do it...=
=20
Marcelo changed it from $version/linux to linux-$version and when using=20
old Linus 2.4  patches, one does a patch -p 1 from $version/ but Marcelo=20
patches, i have to do it from linux/

Maybe I'm just being an old timer on this... but i think i liked Linus'=20

	A programmer from a very large computer company went to a software
conference and then returned to report to his manager, saying: "What sort
of programmers work for other companies?  They behaved badly and were
unconcerned with appearances. Their hair was long and unkempt and their
clothes were wrinkled and old. They crashed out hospitality suites and=20
they made rude noises during my presentation."
	The manager said: "I should have never sent you to the conference.
Those programmers live beyond the physical world.  They consider life=20
absurd, an accidental coincidence.  They come and go without knowing=20
limitations. Without a care, they live only for their programs.  Why=20
should they bother with social conventions?"
	"They are alive within the Tao."
