Well this is the first thing before I can really do much else with this or 
any other patches I'm afraid.... we need a proper copyright assignment to 
make it legal. The reason is at 
<http://sources.redhat.com/fom-serv/ecos/cache/47.html> and is similar to 
the Free Software Foundation's procedure.

There are in fact two forms to deal with I'm afraid, both described at 
<http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/assign.html> - a disclaimer from your 
employer (since most employers claim ownership over employee's code) as 
well as the assignment itself.

You only need to do this once fortunately (it covers future contributions 
too), and once you do I _will_ sort out your patches!

Thanks in advance, and sorry about both the delay and this inconvenience.
