Assuming you're starting with the version mentioned in
the instructions, you should be able to use "patch"
(man patch for more info) to apply the diff file.

FYI, I've experienced some problems with patch and
subdirectories.  When this happened, I manually
modified and split the diff file in order to get it to
work properly.  YMMV.

If all else fails you can go the cut-and-paste route
(but be very careful!).

HTH,
Noel
