in my opinion someone who has been using NeL for a couple of days
should not
be submitting patches of this magnitude at all
i maintain the VC 7.1 solutions which are work in progress and add
more
every week when nevrax has time they work without fail and i have
not failed
in guiding anyone through compile yet with MSVC 6.0, 7.0 and 7.1
so if you
had issues compiling your the minority tell us your issues and we
will reply
with how to get past them :)
i know of several people who use them and several unix users i
know most of
the people who use NeL full stop and not one has had issues with
paths in
the solutions.( which by the way relative paths are INTEDED lol
they are the
correct way to do it )
maybe you should come to IRC and talk to us before throwing a huge
patch
into mailing list see if you are just reinventing the wheel or
even
potentially changing something that is inteded to be the way it is.
