Would it be impossible to put all patched source files (not just
diffs) available, maybe in tar format. Then we, who have hacked kernel
to fit our needs could just cd to /usr/src and 'tar xvf'. Then just
recompile patched parts of the system (kernel and a few system binaries).
Much easier than sexy automatic patch installation systems, IMHO.
