FYI, instead of preparing a patch and attaching it to a bug report you 
could consider working directly on the development version of a library 
and propose a pull request with the fix on GitHub. Here is a tutorial 
showing how this could be done:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/wiki/Contribution-Tutorial
It was made for Geometry but the procedure looks the same for any other 
library.
