Ideally, the steps are similar to
http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GetInvolvedInOpenSourceTodayHowToContributeAPatchToAGitHubHostedOpenSourceProjectLikeCode52.aspx,
but for IronPython. I thought we had some IronPython-specific notes,
but they are horribly out of date. One more thing for the TODO list, I
guess. But that's a lot to get set up for a small fix, if you don't
already have git et al. installed.

Next best is a patch (or diff) that can be easily applied. Finally, if
only one fie is changed, just the modified file is OK. Please attach
it to the appropriate issue as well, as it will get forgotten in the
email archives (and reply with the issue number as well).

Thanks for fixing this. I'll make sure it gets into the next beta.
