Yes I just had it copied at first, then didn't remember if I changed anything, 
so I just svn add-ed it.
I currently just zip out/haiku.x86/debug/bin/additions/ for now and install 
manually in my test VM.

You would not need it at all, though I noticed some issues with reloading, 
depending on the order of the files you overwrite...

Suppose so, I blindly replaced what was in that I copied.

Right, I believe I already sent a separate patch for this, so if you apply it 
it won't appear in the next iteration of this one :P

Copy-pasting...

Sure.

Don't remember where but it doesn't build fully yet.
