Hi,

I'm involved in resolving several bugs and since they almost all fall into
regression, I have been adviced to find out the patch that has broken things.

For doing that, I use howto at

http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/x1344

The howto is of little help for me however. It seems too focused to some
concrete archive and situation from 2 years ago. Some things have changed since,
and the howto dosen't reflect the variability.

The howto should be more detailed and should explain each step, not just spit
out some command shell lines.

Please, improve the howto in these ways:
1, comment the sense of EACH COMMAND, so that user could change parameters, if
needed, to reflect actual situation
2, take care to ensure, that howto is useful even for users that never met CVS
before (like me)
