Would ie be enough if I added a tag such as
Code:
patch_group = `Group name`
to each patch that was part of a mutually exclusive group?
Yeah, I could probably get that to work.

The hardest element will be obtaining help. I could dump everything inside the <patch> tags into the help system (the thought was to use tooltips), but that doesn't work when some of the help text is outside the patch tags.

Maybe have a [HELP patch_name1|patch_name2]...[/HELP] inside comments to mark the start and end of help text. Wouldn't hurt if it included any of the patching comments etc, just to make things simpler for everyone.
