Re: creating steghide portfile, won't build

Just edit the top line of the patch file.  Change this:

steghide-0.5.1/src/AuData.h

to this:

src/AuData.h

That is because DP checks for files to patch beginning at ${worksrcpath}
which is at the expanded download directory location.  The Gentoo patches
apparently starts from the parent directory above that.  Then the
patchfile will correctly specify the location in the DP tree.
