Actually, the right analogy would be: please refraing from learning how to
drive until you're more familiar with how to operate a gearshift. If you
don't know how to shift, you won't be able to drive.

Qmail != qmail-uce.

So, write better documentation yourself. Show us how it's done.

They are. So far, you have not showed any glaring omissions from the docs.

The qmail-uce patch is not written in C++.
That right there shows that you do not have a good grasp of what's going
on.
As far as suggestions go, I would suggest that you learn a little bit about
Unix in general, and how to compile and install software packages.
Furthermore, it won't hurt to learn a little bit about C programming
yourself (even C++).
