[Freetalk-dev] Patch advice

[Ole Jørgen Brønner]

Hi, I've made a small patch to only display the nickname of the active  
buddy. I want to make it configurable, and wonder how this should be done.

I tried first to add a guile hook for printing the current buddy (invoked  
inside 'insert_curret_buddy'), but it did not work. (with ft-display from  
guile) I guess this has to do with readline?

Maybe it's better to simply add a boolean variable to ft_state and a  
matching guile function to set it?

I'm not familiar with arch at all. I did a tla diff, but I suspect that's  
not the proper method of making a patch. Some strange changes related to  
languages have gotten mixed in too. If someone could give me the correct  
command for generating a proper patch I would be grateful.
