You have to do nothing at all, I think. It's just that the change of 
allowed characters will correctly process your patch files. To my 
knowledge, it should have not worked before. (?)

When I do "bmake distinfo" in devel/gdb6 using the old pattern 
[A-Za-z0-9] the distinfo file is 115 bytes and contains no patches. When 
I then change the pattern to be [A-Za-z0-9_] the patches are included. 
So I just wonder how you got the patches into the distinfo file.

And, just FYI: Everything I write here are just suggestions. They are 
not yet accepted by anyone with CVS write access. I even first expect 
some discussion about whether it is useful and how to correct the bugs 
in it. (I've found yet another.)
