Dear Kensuke,

Thank you very much for your effort on this.

Unfortunately, I am pretty ignorant of these matters, thus you will have to 
tell me what it is that I should do with the two .diff files you attached. 
I will be happy to do whatever with them, but I am clueless as to what is 
to be done with them.

Sorry to be a pain.

Jay
