I am really excited getting such a prompt reply. I have couple of doubts. 1. To submit a patch do I need a bug-id? 2. If I am planning to introduce a new feature (enhancement) how to get a bug-id for that. 3. To create a patch do I need to do a CVS diff (or simple diff command is sufficient, if then what option should I use). With anonymous CVS login I could not do a cvs update or cvs diff.
