The patch location was only mentioned in the very first posting because
I wanted to limit distribution of what I considered alpha code.  I haven't
had any more complaints since the second alpha distrubution.  I'm not
quite willing to declare it beta; however:

The alpha2 patch kit is available only on agate.berkeley.edu.

The hidden subdirectory is /pub/incoming/terry.  You can ls once there
and get a copy of the kit.

Please do not repost the kit on other archives.  I would like to get an
"all known patches" kit as part of the initial beta distribution, and I
am almost there.  In particular, I have 15 more patches in "patchkit format"
and am working on getting information from the authors of incomplete
patches so that they can be included.
