I'll attach patch files for most issues, but there were two sentences where I
couldn't decided how they ought to read.

In README.developer:
original lines:
In addition, that also means that when opening or creating a binary
file, you must use "open()" (with O_CREAT and possibly O_TRUNC if the
file is to be created if it doesn't exist), and OR in the O_BINARY flag.
That flag is not present on most, if not all, UNIX systems, so you must
also do

        #ifndef O_BINARY
        #define O_BINARY        0
        #endif

to properly define it for UNIX (it's not necessary on UNIX).


source of confusion:
"define it for UNIX" AND "not necessary on UNIX" ???



In README.plugins:

original lines
The plugin registration has changed with the extension of the build
scripts. These now generate the additional code needed for plugin
encapsulation in plugin.c. When using the new style build scripts,
stips the parts outlined below:

source of confusion:
"stips".  Sorry, no idea how this is supposed to read.
