Good.

As the *.pm  are generated automatically, a patch of such a file gets
lost after the next make clean. Another thing: the paths should
be relative to the gift root directory and not absolute.

You are right: changes should not affect other programs or you should
supply patches, to those programs, too. Best, of course, is to supply
default values that make everything else run without changes :-)

Which problems?

HM> How important is it to have the URL for the dtd correctly?

The DTD is not important, as MRML parsers are non-validating. I should
take it out (potential source of errors).

Cheers,
