Sounds good.

Fink is under git control:
* https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/
* 
https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/tree/master/10.9-libcxx/stable/main/finkinfo/editors

Patches are submitted via pull requests:
https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/wiki/Submitting-new-or-updated-packages

Generally, we keep the same configure options when a new major version 
of a package gets made, but it is not required. That is up to the 
package maintainer as they think is the best option.
