For small to medium sized changes, patches against the latest snapshot have the best chance of being applied successfully to the current CVS tree. I should point out that anything that goes into the distributed source should be fairly general and configurable, and not something that would only work at one site. > > I don't know what that would involve, but it might be possible with a > > front-end wrapper script for htsearch. > > It's not so bad - map clicks are passed as form elements map.x and map.y > in the URL as usual, but I need to scale them.

Sounds reasonable. If it requires htsearch changes anyway, may as well make it self-contained if you can. -- Gilles R.
