I thought about doing it like that, but doesn't that lead to some
trouble? If I did the three patches "independently", that means each
in it's own fresh updated cvs-tree, it's not easy to apply them one
after the other. And if I do change the files in only one cvs-tree and
call diff every time I do a specific change (markup, move, libstdc++),
the patches only work when applied in the right order.
Anyway: I'll do what you want me to, but please explain what I should
do when I make <n> changes: diff every change spearately againts the
cvs-repository or use the same file over and over again?

Nope. The test was in faq.html: the href="" to some absolute path --
the directory on my computer where I store the web-pages. ;-)
Although it's too late now and everybody knows I'm so imaginative to
name my mount points "/xinu", a patch to fix that problem follows.
