Just a clarification on this last sentence, since apparently it has been
misinterpreted.

By saying "garbage" I was actually referring to my garbage/ directory on my
website, which contains several patches. And "misleading" was because this time
I had not updated the patch accordingly to the changes I had made. Hence the
sentence that was not directed towards you (David) but rather towards me - I'll
have to keep my patches up-to-date for them not to mislead interested readers.

I obviously appreciate reviews, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't sound
disrespectful in any way.
