 '''fg-submit script'''
-As of March 2007, a bash script "fg-submit" is available that simplifies the preparation of patches that are to be submitted to the maintainers. It can be found in '/source/scripts/tools'.  It compares your changes to cvs, creates a diff file and an archive containing your changed files and the diff file. Run this script from within the CVS directory containing your changes. It's output will go to that same directory.

 fg-submit should work with any flavor of Unix/Linux. Windows users may use this script from within a Cygwin bash shell, assuming the necessary Devel tools have been installed.
