Very good point, thanks. I actually looked for something like this,
but searching with TAINT (the term the Linux kernel uses for
any kernel loading _closed_ source modules) and Vim did not
yield any results.

As Matt points out, whatever works for anyone is good :)

For complete cluebies, and we all started that way, I think not
having to think about how to apply a patch is preferable, though.

But again, anyone should use what they like :)

PS: Is it possible to make git accept the fact that a changed
line in five branches should be put below each other in random
order. That way, all patches could concat CONF_ARGS for
all patch branches seperately and the end result would be a
complete patch list. Markus, can such a thing be done?
