I love to see spelling patches, personally. It would help if you used
the '-p' option to diff when submitting patches since this makes it clear
what function is being affected.
I'm not sure if these should have ChangeLog entries or not. Probably
they should.
The entry would be pretty simple, like:
2000-06-07 David B Anderson <davea@quasar.engr.sgi.com>
* dst.h: Fix spelling error in comment.
* dbxread.c: Ditto, throughout.
However, maybe Andrew will want something more comprehensive...
