It also makes sure that the Makefile dependency glob for compat-patches/* is at least generating one dependency. But it should also be used to define the rules under which a patch in this directory is acceptable (of course, the rules are not yet defined - so I've just used a placeholder for this draft). The requirements for such a patch should be really high because patches tend to fail when the code or the surrounding code is changed. This is also the reason why I've combined the critical code to really small functions which avoids more patch chunks for more places in the code. Kind regards, Sven
