Adding new features

[Brian Di Palma]

Hi guys,

I've tried emailing the address at the bottom of the snackr website
but I've not received a reply so I was wondering if someone could give
me an address to where I can send new features I'm adding to Snackr?

I would prefer my changes to be in main code base.

This is one patch file I have others I'm working on so if someone
could please integrate these changes it would very cool!

Just copy the above into a text file called patch.txt and I think you
can use eclipse/flash builder to import it into your project
