Not tested the patch yet, but will do over the course of this week, but a mod
to the doc:

The ftp site at sourceforge is dead. All the files (including the Xservers)
should now be available via http. This is sourceforge's decision and I'm not
happy with it but there you are.

I have no immediate plans to vacate sourceforge despite what is happening at VA
Linux and Loic Dachary's article on Advogato.
