Re: Prelim LG-VX5300 patches

Hello,

Pretending for a moment that I'm completely unfamiliar with the whole 
PitBim patching process...

Will this patch need to be re-applied to each new BitPim release (that 
is, until it becomes incorporated into the main trunk)?

Or will the added bits remain resident in each new version (assuming no 
Major architectural changes in BitPim)?

Thanks,

-Logan
