Patch files are pretty easy. it is spelled out in the crossfire-0.9x/doc/
dir in the programming guide I believe. 

or else use diff -c 5 <oldfile.c> <patchedfile.c>

or some such:-|

I haven't really read much about them, do they work and where are they
documented?

As for improving the system find a var that isn't being used as yet there
are a few of them I think assign it in an arch and then find where the
behavior is coded and go from there.
