And they can save even (a lot) more if we make patches :-) since the changes 
from KDE 2.1 to 2.1.1 are rather small AFAIC. However, seems to me that 
Martin didn't like this idea because I received no answer for the patches 
from KDE 2.0 to 2.1 that I uploaded. Perhaps it is worth a new try with diffs 
for this release?
