Sorry for not getting around to you earlier.  I've looked at the patch, and
it's totally unapplyable.  You've included a huge number of files that
shouldn't be in the patch because you've used -N option to diff.  If you
have any new files that should be included, touch the corresponding file in
the original tree and diff will take it in.

I like the idea of having hex-grid, both gamers and chemists use it (and
I'm married to a woman who's both:).
