How to make a flying human

We are in a future where genetics has advanced to a point where arbitrary modifications can be done to living beings. Now a geneticist wants to make a flying human. That is, he wants to modify a human so that his arms turn into wings (but still with hands at the end, so doing all things humans usually do is possible), and so that the human could actually fly using those wings. But apart of the wings, the modifications should be as conservative as possible; that is, it should be the minimum change necessary to make the human fly, and it should affect the normal human abilities as little as possible. In particular, he should still look as human as possible. If possible, he should have the ability to go directly from running to flying.

My question is: What minimal changes would have to be made to the human body to enable flying?
