(That patch is not needed with 1.4.1.)

Anyway, a patch is the textual results of running the `diff' program
over two chunks of source code.  It reports chunks of before and after
in a systematic way that can be applied using the `patch' program.
The results of `diff' is a popular way to report changes work against 
a common body of source code.
