        Excellent. Thanks, Jolan.

        However, I have one patch that is still a pain in the ass - it patches a Makefile, and that Makefile hasn't been generated at the time the patch process runs. This process doesn't work for this patch, it fails:

===> Patching for nagios-1.0b6
===> Applying OpenBSD patch patch-cgi_Makefile Hmm... Looks like a unified diff to me... The text leading up to this was:

|$OpenBSD$
|--- cgi/Makefile.orig  Sun Nov 10 03:37:10 2002
|+++ cgi/Makefile       Sun Nov 10 03:43:08 2002
--------------------------

        Thoughts/suggestions most welcome. :)
