Actually, the above isn't quite right. The date should be *after* the date that
the final 1.1.5 changes were made. 2003-06-26 works.

That leaves one further problem. The debian control files (under 'debian' in
the CVS tree) were removed from the release; they're part of Noffle CVS but
at the time I didn't want to distribute them as part of a Noffle release, as
they're not under my control. So the patch will contain changes to debian/
files that don't exist. You might want to remove them from the patch before
applying.

Anyway, if you do all that the patch will apply correctly to 1.1.5. I've just
tried it. :-)
