The patches provided are almost certainly not usable. See
DOCS/tech/patches.txt for patch-submission information.

Notably:

* Patches should be provided as unified diffs, not as so-called context
diffs (which has always sounded like a misnomer to me, since they in
fact provide no context at all...)

* Patches should be made using 'svn diff' from the root of the SVN
source tree, not by running diff against a second local copy.

* Patches should be submitted as attachments, not inline, because inline
text can easily be garbled (particularly in terms of whitespace) by mail
software.

side of it.
