The initial patch I tried to convert was one big, monolithic patch as
well.  If I was much more familiar with the code base, and much more
confident in my C skills, I could attempt to rewrite it from scratch
as a series of smaller patches, but I'd likely make many small errors
along the way, or just frankly miss places to add things.

If we're talking about just reading the patch to review what changes
it makes, I can point you to the biodiversity website which has a
break down of the major features/changes it makes, and that is much
simpler to review.

I was just hoping someone would apply this to a CVS dump, attempt to
build it, see where it breaks, and perhaps help me fix that portion.
Before it could ever be considered for review or inclusion on any
level, it has to work.

However, thanks for your response either way.
