hi,

well i in earlier mail what i tried asking was that what i did was
permissible or not , in  the sense that there are some rules to be followed
while testing and tweaking the package and in case i was violating any.This
was more about asking permission rather asking if it will work or not.

PS:- i will make sure that in future , if i edit any wiki entry , i will add
commit message in future and i am sorry for the any
