Lazy man's workaround.  (Heh, I think I have this on that fluxbox page
that I've pleaded with you to read.)  :)

cd into work/port-version

Apply the patch.

Buffy: First of all, Martha Stewart knows jack about hand-cut
prosciutto. 
Xander: I don't believe she slays, either. 
Oz: Oh, I hear she can, but she doesn't like to.
