Well, for some reason, I still can't use my version of 'patch'
with the file you sent. I have commited your changes, (as well
as all recent patches you sent) by hand.

I'll now look for another version of patch to install on my
machine. In the meantime, if you intend to work heavily on
the Postscript hinter, we could give you commit access to
the repository to ease things up.

Just send me a login and an encrypted password if you need
it..
