I'd say, dont send it as a patch.  The ad system is an excellent canadiate
my plugin.  It works great, but hasn't been checked in yet.  Yes, it can
make all the functions $S->yourfunction, so you can make the ad system a
plugin with little trouble.

Wanna make it a plugin?

1)  Gut out everything about ads from scoop
2)  Move them into a different directory
3)  I'll post how to make a plugin tarball (pretty easy)
4) ???
5)  profit.
