You you've ever know how much mail I get from guys that say 'XX isn't
support in your program, yould you implement it ??'

I'm always happy to add new features to my programs, but sometimes that's
impossible without doc's. In my case, Cryptocard support.

But it was a bit rude, I agree. I apologise.

C programming goes fine, kernel a bit harder (I'm a newbie), bit I'm
learning. Falling a lot and standing up every time helps..

Well, I've had the same thing with the trustees patch : It's for 2.2.14,
and I have upgraded to 2.2.16 (due top the 'famous' bug).

Basically :

Patch it, and fix the rejected files. Most of the time easy, sometimes
not.
