[KJ] [PATCH] Update for the KJ FAQ

[KJ] [PATCH] Update for the KJ FAQ

[Travis Spencer]

I just sent in my first patch.  As you probably all noticed, I used
the wrong patch level and my tabs were swallowed up when I copied and
pasted from my terminal.  domen suggested on irc that I send my
patched to patch-tester@coderock.org first because it will find little
mistakes like this.  I added a blurb about this to the FAQ found at
http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/faq and attached the patch.

Thanks, faq updated.

Little about the script behind this:
Idea is stolen from kernel mentors mailing list, from Randy Dunlap,
I believe, who made a similar script.

It works for me (TM), but it sure could use more testing.

If anyone wonders about the code, it's attached.
