What's the best way to go about handling patching of files that need PREFIX substituted into the file after the patch has been applied? Like for example, you replace a path in a source file with %%PREFIX%% and you want that replaced after the patch is done. I don't think using SUB_FILES would work in this case. Any help would be appreciated. Naram Qashat
