Hi JK,

No need to be sorry - there was a time when each of us didn't know how 
to patch. =)

For a short patch like this, you can just apply it by hand by editing 
the files it indicates.  Each hunk of the patch gives a little context 
(line numbers are in the header too), then shows lines that should be 
removed by putting '-' in front of them, and lines that should be added 
by putting '+' in front of them.  So you can just make those edits 
yourself if you want.

If you want to apply a patch automatically, save it in a file called 
"patch.txt" (or whatever you want), then from the top level of the 
Module-Build directory issue the command "patch < patch.txt".  More 
details are in the manual page for the 'patch' command.
