Nice to hear. I've put a request if the NM people could perhaps merge
these patches. If there are interest from the Archlinux community  i
will continue with that.

This is exactly what i do. I have my Makefile.am Configure.in. No
Makefile.in or Configure.

But to be able to make a patch that patches the official release i then
rerun autogen.sh and regenerate the .in etc. And finaly i diff my
autoconfed version against the release.

Then because we have newer autotools a lot changes(?). But my original
work is only a few tens of kilobytes. Even though the patch weights in
around one megabyte. (Most of it is "air")

I have not found out a better way to make a patch against a released
version. Pointers appreciated :-)
