For one thing, if you're going to be developing like this you
should get your code directly from the repository using CVS.
You can get read-only access via this CVSROOT:

  :pserver:readonly at cvs.transvirtual.com:/home/cvspublic

So..

  $ CVSROOT=:pserver:readonly at cvs.transvirtual.com:/home/cvspublic
  $ export CVSROOT
  $ cvs checkout -P kaffe

Then you can submit your patches as diff's against the current source.

In any case, 1.0b3 is ancient history.
