Do it however you'd like :-)  After all, it's an Open Source
project and you have complete control.

However, if you'd like to contribute the work and have it included
in the public sources, you'll want to follow some guidelines.
  1. You'll need to have a Copyright assignment on file.  See:
     http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/ecos/cache/47.html
  2. Send your changes to ecos-patches@sources.redhat.com, along
     with any description, defense, etc, so that we can review
     them.  Most likely, we'll then include your changes.

You can also take your requests and ideas to
ecos-devel@sources.redhat.com which is a list dedicated to such
discussions.  [It's just the same set of "eyes" in a different
forum]
