I could, but I was trying to keep the sources pristine so that upgrades don't require much in the way of manual intervention (ie, creating a new patch file for each new release). I was hoping to find a way that would allow the port to stay more or less the same, just update some crc/md5's, and push it out. I don't have a lot of time to keep creating patches, and I don't actually know *how* to properly create a patch. :P So yeah. ;) You are correct with the above.
