Unfortunately this does not work on 64-bit Vista. After adding the patch, running
patch results in a prompt saying (loosely translated from Swedish) "The requested
action requires a privilege elevation" and then the program terminates. The
only way to run patch seems to be "as administrator". Not good. And why does
it need elevated privileges? All it does is twiddle some files (in a highly
useful way).
