as you wish

they're almost all in pure ascii. but only the cdrom patch since
frederic name use french accents:

Content-Type: text/x-patch; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=devfsd-1.3.25-pg.patch
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

afaic, latin1 (iso-8859-1) is equal to ascii for all ascii characters
(aka the 128 first ones).
as for 8bit ascii, i don't know this one.
there's several encoding that includes ascii and use more bits. one of
them is latin1 which is fine there since there's only ascii characters




what's more, i sent you in the past patches you accepted; i sent these
patches the same way i sent the above one today ... 
that is pure-ascii attachments with:

Content-Type: text/x-patch
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=devfsd-1.3.25-rd.patch


i won't send them inline since they can then be corrupted my mailer,
mta, mda, ...
