Thanks for the offer Jonathan, I will be sure to make use of it. :)
I will use the same names for files as in the original sources then (this is
what I am doing already).
I'm hoping to start moving my code over during the weekend.
I will send a patch with the required changes to gameSelector.cpp/.h to
Jonathan (or someone else?), so he can review and incorporate it.
I'm not quite sure where to go from there.. Do I have to send the initial
batch of sources to someone of the development team so (s)he can review them
before commiting them? Will I get CVS access eventually?
