    What I have done when I needed to apply patches is put the patch in the
    top level directory of the source tree I want to patch, open the patch
    with less and see where the patches apply
    (thisdirectory_version/some/sub/directory or some/sub/directory), then
    run "patch -p0 <patchfile" if the patch applies to some/sub/directory or
    "patch -p1 <patchfile" if the patch applies to
    thisdirectory_version/some/sub/directory. Pay attention to the errors
    that patch returns; if there are any, abort the patch operation with ^C
    and see what's wrong. Try running patch with the appropriate value
    after "p" and with the "--dry-run" option to see whether you have it
    right. man patch
