Well, I would suggest a branch, but if it continues to bootstrap 
correctly, I see no need. Haven't tried it to verify that though :).

Couple of comments from a brief glance at it. Please remove the 
config.guess and config.sub patches (unless your copies are newer), and 
since your emacs seems to insist on updating copyrights, it ought to add 
2002 as well as 2003.

Please take a break before your head explodes, it can take ages to clean 
the screen after that happens :)
