I've committed the mentioned contributed patches to the repository.  The 
source builds afterwards, and the few tests I ran passed.

A quick review of Bugzilla shows 89 open bugs, and at least a few of 
them have patches available on the reports.  I will try to review these 
this weekend and make some commits where possible. Others can feel 
welcome to assist in this effort.

I am unlikely to make the time to go through distributions' patches and 
see if there is anything there worth upstreaming.  So if someone is 
ambitious... :-D

Thanks,

Lee.
