So the patch.bat in Perl Power Tools 0.12 seemed to do the job... but 
produced a bunch of funny warnings about printing to a NULL filehandle. 
  Anyway, diff -u on the results reproduced the original patch, so I 
think it did the desired patching.  Then I added the return, and rebuilt 
the .ppd.  Seems to be acceptable to PPM now.

OF course, PPM still doesn't do anything... this version didn't even 
talk about file 14/14.
