I generally extract the differences between Millers versions and merge
them into the devel branch. This is not always easy, especially if
the diffs conflict. You need to know quite a bit about the working
of Pd in some cases. You have to take special care about the parts
that got included into Millers version from the CVS.

That would be a good idea. Up to now the only documentation
we have is in the CVS logs.
