 Some patches exist because they bring *big* changes and need some more
 testing. So if you use these patches, please send an email to the author,
 and give some feedback on how well the patch works. It will be most helpful
 to decide if some specific feature makes it into vanilla t-prot.

-t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff and t-prot-*-gpg1*.diff
-=============================================
-You want to be on the bleeding edge, using a developer version of mutt?
-Your distribution provides just an outdated version of gnupg?
+These patches are updated as need be, as several distributions (that
+is, their t-prot package maintainers) use them to adapt t-prot to the
+distribution's environment. They will _not_ get dropped just because
+nobody bugs me. :)
 
-No problem, these patches add the locales needed for them to work
-smoothly. Please send a bug report if there are some great new
-features in the new mutt or gnupg which break anything inside t-prot.
+Users: Please note that these patches will most likely be applied by the
+t-prot package maintainer(s) of your distribution (if the distribution
+makes use of said Slang, mutt and gnupg versions).
 
-t-prot.sl-slang2.diff
-=====================
-Patch by Gregor Herrmann, making t-prot.sl run with Slang-2.

+t-prot-*-mutt15*.diff and t-prot-*-gpg1*.diff
+=============================================
+By now it seems safe to assume every distribution is using mutt version
+1.5.x and gnupg newer than 1.2.6, so these patches have been incorporated
+into t-prot in version 3.0.
+
+t-prot.sl-slang2.diff
+=====================
+Slang-2 seems to be standard nowadays, so we drop Slang-1 support.
+
+t-prot-*-gol.diff (2nd version)
+===============================
+This patch has been incorporated in t-prot since version 2.95, when
+Getopt::Mixed would have broken existing configurations with the new
+behaviour of the -c command line switch. The performance issues are
+still not solved, though, so if you have an idea how to improve the
+performance of Getopt::Long, please drop a note.
