... and if you cut and paste patches from an e-mail, you might want to
use "patch -p1 -l", which means:
 -l  or  --ignore-whitespace
Match  patterns  loosely, in case tabs or spaces have been munged in
your files.  Any sequence of one or more blanks in  the  patch  file
matches  any  sequence in the original file, and sequences of blanks
at the ends of lines are  ignored.   Normal  characters  must  still
match  exactly.  Each line of the context must still match a line in
the original file.
