Summary: IMPORTANT! If you change 2.11 code, save the original

You may have noticed files in the 2.11 distribution called
"patchlevel.*".  What are they for, you may ask?  So patches can be
sent out as errors are corrected and features are added, as is done
for rn.  So if you fix problems on your own, save the old code, so
you can apply the patches when the code is fixed "right".
