Some advice to people submitting changes:

Back in the days when I was maintaining Hugs, changes were substantially more
likely to be merged into the main base if they were decomposed into a number of
small, independent changes whose impact and consequences could be understood in
isolation from the other changes.

For example, Hans' stack overflow changes sound like a feature that all Hugs
users could benefit from (i.e., not just MacOS users) but it really needs to be
submitted as a separate set of patches if Johan is to correctly integrate them
and if various individuals around the world are to submit modifications which
make the stack overflow code work on other platforms (Sparcs, x86s, etc.)
