Your patches were applied to branches/2.2 but I had to work to let them
merge with the current organization of Makefile.am files

Whenever possible it would be good if patches could be generated diffing
using svn from the development branch they are meant for.

I also patched trunk, but I haven't committed it yet. It's going to take
a bit longer as I'm trying to write test scripts for the new Rivet
channel policy: I wish I had a stash function similar to git's. May I
ask if anyone wants to explore how we can mirror Rivet on github like
other projects already do?
