The patches in the contrib directory enable features
that either don't work completely, aren't well tested, or
are of limited general use. They can be applied by
using patch in the vblade source directory as follows:
forfeit:~/vblade-12 # patch -p1 patching file aoe.c
patching file fns.h
patching file freebsd.c
patching file linux.c
forfeit:~/vblade-12 #
