Thanks, pushed your patch. The easiest way for patches is to just send
them on the mailing list here like you see others doing, attached or
inline if your mail client doesn't garble them, preferably formatted as
with git/export or similar (see fqa 2.5 [1]).
I hate lawyershit, but if the winxp sources are from a leak or something,
it might be a bad idea to consult or copy code from them. It's annoying,
but we should respect this legalshit to the best of our ability, just to
avoid any stupid trouble. I'll let someone who understands this better
correct me. I don't even know if windows nt sources are more readable
than linux ones...
Good luck!
