OK, I take you word for it, but I still wouldn't know how to go about
inserting a diff patch after extraction but before building, or how to
get a script to intervene. (Don't worry about actually explaining it,
but if there is a manual you can just point me to and say RTFM ... )

Done. After a selfupdate of Fink, 'the' built without problems. Thank
you!
