You need only one of the patch-XXX.sh files. I leave older ones on my ftp
site for some other developers. The xxx-patch.gz files are weekly patches,
which you can ignore.
Assume ncurses-5.3.tar.gz and patch-5.3-20030719.sh are in the current
directory. The script assumes you have installed GNU patch (2.54 works),
and have uudecode in your path.
gzip -dc ncurses-5.3.tar.gz |tar xf -
cd ncurses-5.3
sh ../patch-5.3-20030719.sh
