Sorry -- trying to be too brief. What I meant was that there is no way (that I
know of)
to 'patch' the original soundfont to produce the corrected version. I did the
fixes with
"SWAMI" on an older Linux machine (which is currently unavailable), so there is
just the
fixed file. As I understand it, the recipe has to point to that file stored
somewhere, and
I don't even really know where a good place for that would be.
My thesis is that in this case the recipe doesn't add anything (except
complexity)
because the soundfont is highly unlikely to be updated again -- and if it was,
you'd
just have to write a new recipe again to locate the new file.

BTW -- Thanks for getting pc_serial working! Is it ready for use? Can I tell
the guys
who want it it's ready?
