This was brought up in the LAST CALL. I proposed to add a "Generated by Ant script" line to each .patch file and add the .patch files to the exceptions list because I felt that adding the header would make these files look like it was safe to modify them by hand. That's how the Ant build is currently set up. Thoughts? -Alex
