Check out a clean version of the subdirectory in question
somewhere. Make your changes and recommit.

cvs log    or the viewcvs interface should help you to find 
excatly the right person. (I did not inquire.)

We'll get there.

We could install some preprocessing,
but we should be very careful to not make it too complicated.
I saw too many projects, where it got too complicated which
turned into a drawback.

Thus m4 macros and WML are out of the question, 
they are generally too complicated.

Here are pointer for people to see what is available implemented
in python. PTL and Plow look interesting.

Note that we do not need a complete Framework, like:
