Yes, that's the intent.  I was tripped up by my build environment not being stock; 
that's been remedied.  I was also mightily confused by Charles' apparent use of 
git *and* a huge patch file.  Some of my previous updates went one place rather 
than both.  Or as in this latest putclip case, into the patch file when it wasn't 
yet complete.  I am in the process of clearing the debris and making it right.
Thanks & Regards,
