can you list the files? I'll single them out in our CPack build system 
so they won't get into the tarball at all and you won't have to do the 
job again for 2009.2.0 in a couple of weeks.

alternatively, if you tell me your Sourceforge handle I can give you SVN 
write access. To my understanding what you are doing makes sense, and it 
makes sense to push the changes upstream to us.

I thought so. And Ubuntu being UK-based is not concerend by US patent law.
