I'm afraid we need rip out the problematic patches.  Here's Paolo's
list:

Fabrice Bellard <fabrice@bellard.org>

	750afe93fd15fafc20b6c34d30f339547d15c2d1

Jocelyn Mayer
	75d62a585629cdc1ae0d530189653cb1d8d9c53c

Thiemo Seufer's parents (Stefan said he'd contact them)
	5a6932d51d1b34b68b3f10fc5ac65598bece88c0
	924b2c07cdfaba9ac408fc5fa77da75a570f9dc5
	b645bb48850fea8db017026897827f0ab42fbdea
	fc81ba536bc3d8cdbcf9e92369e9bc5ede69da10

We've put it off for too long already.
