The best way would be to get them integrated into the original rather 
than having several copies floating around. I have been slow about 
getting patches and bugfixes integrated into the script, but I will try 
to get it done sometime if you would like to send it to me. I have had 
one bugfix for omitballs on BGA in my inbox for months. I have also 
mentioned doing a CGI interface to footgen, and am still planning on 
doing that in the near future unless someone else would like to take on 
that task.
