Hi, 

 I did the copying, cause I am not an expert of scons (hence my bunch
 of questions... ;).

 It is only a "security" option to not to "pollute" my cvs source
 tree, where my cvs-update script will work on.

 Just to be safe...nothing more.

 With the copy I can do what I want ... even wrong things ;)

 But I will try to do the manual "hacking" of a .c file here also
 ... it is a good idea.

 Could you recommend one so I can see a change in the resulting
 binary? (I have only a very very very very very very very little
 knowledge of the sources... ;)

 Keep hacking!
