[Project-managers] editing external codes

[Andreas Waechter]

Hi Matt,

I don't know what Cliquer is, but the ideal case would be that you get the 
Cliquer developers to include your changes in a new version.  They would 
probably be grateful to get fixes that make it work on Windows...?

Otherwise, you could include patch files in your distribution and tell 
users that want to use Cliquer on Cygwin how they have to apply the 
patches to Cliquer code that they download separately.

It works fine with unix flavors, but Cliquer was never written to run on Windows. I can fix the Cliquer code to compile in Windows with a few ifdef's.
