Two ways to deal with it: 

  1) Just create a fork on github, make changes on a new branch, and issue
     a pull request.  If you're only making occasional, isolated changes
     like this, that's the preferred method. 
  2) If you need more direct access to be able to change the code base,
     Curt or I need to add you to the member list on github, and then you 
     can just push directly to master.

If you update get-NWS to get more up-to-date files, then you must also make
absolutely certain that the dbfawk files we currently have will work with 
the new files, too.  And if they don't, you have to craft a new one (not 
just modify existing dbfawks, which would break things for those folks who
don't update their NWS files every time the NWS reissues them).
