Apparently, I bundled the wrong directory off to agate. 8-(.
All of the patches are still OK, but:
o The README file should have been named "patchkit-0.1.README"
o The first "test -d" in "m_install" and "m_deinstall" should
have been a "test -f" in the "patches" program itself.
o If you install the kit some place other than "/patch", you
will have to modify the "PATCHDIR" variable in the "patches"
program, or make a symbolic link to the correct directory.
If done between steps "c" and "d" in section "4" of the "README",
this would be "ln -s patch /patch". Do this *only* if you
pick a different directory in step "a".
I have uploaded the correct files over top of the old ones. You can either
do the fix yourself, or re-download the kit. Thanks to everyone who gave
the rapid feedback that allowed me to repair this mistake.
