one patch should be one changeset, means: it should compile and it should be 
completed feature/bugfix

unified diff, svn diff is also ok...

yes, please split it because sqlbox is extra project

see (1), yes.. one patch for one changeset

we trying to avoid any dependency but if it's configurable with configure and 
license is not clash with kannel's one then it should be ok.
