kluge up vt.
To lash together a quick hack to perform a
task; this is milder than cruft together and has some of the
connotations of hack up (note, however, that the construction
`kluge on' corresponding to hack on is never used). "I've
kluged up this routine to dump the buffer contents to a safe
place."
