Re: Legal papers for Emacs contributions (was: Re: Docstring line length)

        I came up with a while ago too?

    Alas, I don't remember anything about it.  Could you send it again?

Yes, sure.  I can be found online at:
http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/emacs/22/freebsd-amd64+libgcc.patch

Here it is, inline to save you the hassle of downloading it:
