Building Kaffe 1.0b1 on Win95 with CygWin32

[Murray Cumming]

Godmar,

Please forgive my newbie question, as I am new to kaffe and gnu: Where
do I send details about my 'fixes', and is there any preferred format?
Is a 'patch' simply a description of a fix, or is it some kind of
machine-generated differences file?

I would urge people to download the latest snapshot if they encounter
a problem and see whether it has been fixed.  Also, the directory
FAQ/FAQ.Known-bugs contains some of the things that are known to be
broken,
in doubt or in flux.

This is one of them (that's known to be broken).  Likely fix: look at
the
.def files in the other directories and copy one over.  It's not in
today's,
but should be in tomorrow's snapshot.

About the kludge below:

The reason all these things are still broken is that no Win95/cygnus
person submits a usable patch that a) works and b) explains why it
works.
So if your time allows, it would be nice to have a "real" patch that
fixes these weird #include problems once and for all.
