In order to remove a diagnostic message, I need to change one line of if_xlreg.h
in the source code.  What is the proper procedure for changing the file and
maintaining the change should the source code be updated?  For the moment, I
just copied the original source to if_xlreg.h.old in the same directory, then
made my change, with a comment that I can grep if I need to find it in future.
Is this a good way to do it?  What happens when I refresh all the source with
more recent versions?
