Oh, Paul - I forgot to mention, and since it wasn't necessarily clear from 
the patch..

I used the patch-2.5.9 sources as a base for this. I don't know how 
official that source base is, I picked it up from a Debian package as the 
"original tar-ball": patch_2.5.9.orig.tar.gz

I suspect it applies to just about any version of patch with no 
modifications, but just to clarify what the base was. Judging by the 
ChangeLog, you're the one who has been doing the later 2.5.x releases even 
though the last version on the GNU sites is 2.5.4.

Confusing.
