William, if you want these done, by far the best way to get them in is 
to submit patches to the book.  Time is a bit scetchy for me, but I and 
the other editors will do our best to get them in with proper patches.  
Here is what I use to build and verify a book package:

tar -xf $PACKAGE.tar.bz2
cd $PACKAGE
touch .timestamp
./configure $ARGS
make
make install
find / -newer .timestamp -type f > installed-files.txt
# My llog command is a lot more complicated than the one liner 
above...in fact, it's a
# 1000+ line script, but that is the worker bee, so to speak.  Just get 
rid of any
# realtime files (/proc /sys /dev /var/log etc.) from the list of files 
and copy them
# into a new directory (inside the build directory) and du -shk the 
build directory to
# get build size used for the book.

svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/BLFS/trunk ~/BLFS
# edit with your favorite editor
make blfs
svn diff > attached-file.diff
# e-mail the diff to [email protected].

Thanks.
