I get an error like this:
<snip>
can't find file to patch at input line 220
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -N -u -r AfterStep-current/lib/parser.c
AfterStep-current-2/lib/parser.c

--------------------------
File to patch:
<snip>
The thing is...parser.c doesn't exist...only parse.c When I suggest to
patch that, I get this error:
<snip>
Hunk #1 FAILED at 244.

What gives?
