That will make things easier...

The problem I am having is not so much the order of the patches, but rather 
that some of them have to be patched with p0 and some with p1. I suppose I 
could always redo the exception patch file, but I'de rather not mess with it 
as they are not mine.

Is there any other elegant way of fixing a p0/p1 patch file?
