The latest version of that patch (kept in synch with the CVS sources by
Matthew Ogilvie)
can be found on
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=822306&group_id=20011&atid=320011
Or: The "patches" link under
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsenhancements/
There are multiple versions of the patch on that page; please make
sure you download the latest one (21feb2004).

Actually, Derek Price is currently working on incorporating it in the
mainstream CVS.
