Hi Steve, yes, that's exactly why the "Generic" module is there.

I don't understand this.

The code submitted to the CVS doesn't have to be complete, but should
not break any previous functionality.  Further improvements are no
problem, but the commit should always introduce something that works
(even though it may have some limitations).  Hynek usually reviews all
contributions, since he is the one who has the complete overview of the
project.  ChangeLog should contain an entry for each commited change in
each file.  The CVS commit message should be the same, as the changelog
entry for given file.  Emacs does that automatically in the CVS mode,
you its also the most practical way of doing it.  Take a look at the
ChangeLog to see how detailed the messages are.

Hope that helps.  Tomas.
