B. Patch to remedy the problem
==============================
+Note that when taking this from a GnuPG clearsigned file, the lines
+starting with a "-" character are prefixed by another "- " (dash +
+blank) combination. Either feed this file through GnuPG to strip them,
+or strip them manually.
+
+Whitespace differences can usually be ignored by invoking "patch -l",
+so try this if the patch does not apply.
