I'm the idiot that deleted that stuff, and if you had read the followup
posting to it, you would see why.  Unfortunately, due to some lack of
familiarity with the software, the Neosoft crew didn't realize what
all was required to make patchkit patches that can be installed 
and de-installed cleanly.

These patches WILL be released when they are cleaned up and put
into the proper format, but buggy patches are worse than patches
that don't do anything.

Hold onto your horses, the world isn't going to end before the patches
get out.
