That patch did not apply automatically (it seems your mailer lost
spaces?), but I added it manually. Thanks for the patch!

Note that we also need ChangeLog entries for patches. I wrote the
following for you this time, though it'd be great could you supply
them in the future.

  2001-03-21  Yngve Svendsen  <yngve.svendsen@clustra.com>

        * gnatsweb.pl: New configuration variable $site_stylesheet.
        (page_start_html): Use it.

Yes, a lot of sense, though I'd prefer 3.95, which also leaves a bit of
room for signifcant bumps before 4.0 in case we need that.

I installed the following:

        * gnatsweb.pl ($VERSION): Bump to 3.95.

Great. In that case I'd like to give you CVS write access and preapprove
these changes (that is, you can go ahead and commit them w/o any further
approval), especially as I'll be out-of-town and offline for about two
weeks starting next weekend.

Please contact me privately for details!

Also, if you're interested in fixing the HTML output of gnatsweb,
you  might want to have a look at the bug report at

Thanks for your contributions!
