PATCH 1/1 Update for the KJ FAQ

I just sent in my first patch. As you probably all noticed, I used the wrong patch level and my tabs were swallowed up when I copied and pasted from my terminal. domen suggested on irc that I send my patched to [email protected] first because it will find little mistakes like this. I added a blurb about this to the FAQ found at
http://janitor.kernelnewbies.org/faq and attached the patch.

Thanks, faq updated.

Little about the script behind this:
Idea is stolen from kernel mentors mailing list, from Randy Dunlap, I believe, who made a similar script.

It works for me (TM), but it sure could use more testing.

If anyone wonders about the code, it's attached.
