I tried installing these patches and got some rejected hunks.  On further
exploration, I discovered that the reason was the SCCS control strings --
either the files I had were marked "Locked" and the patch was based on "Exp",
or the other way around.  Perhaps patch could be trained to ignore this
particular difference (sort of like ignoring whitespace, but a lot harder).
