Sorry guys for making myself scrase these days, but the work at he new house
is much more important than was planned... Sigh...

:-P
I'm making helper scripts that will wrap SVN actions and do such nice things
as adding diffstat when calling 'svn diff', or preparing commit messages with
the diffstat, etc... If they get correct, I'll make them available.
But that's not on top of the list (right now, plaster and paint is on the top!)

If you have pointers to patches, I'll gladly add them. Until then, the second
solution will be retained: whenever anyone complains and prepares a patch,
it will be added.

Anyway, it will _not_ be applied because of the name! Only patches matching
the following regexp will be applied: '\.patch$'

As for "build-programs=no", I don't know wether the actual build uses it,
but there's code working around exactly what is commented in the patch.

I only kept that one because the original crosstool had it and didn't apply
it, so I kept it for reference. It can be safely dropped, I guess.
