grub-doc patch problem

[chaffmanus@yahoo.com (tony Tong)]

The problem still stands!! The result dejected me so
much .
I have tested the combination of 2003-0108.patch and
Grub from CVS by Wincvs tool .
The patch still cannot pass without errors.
The  following is my all steps :
1:use "rpm -Uvh " to update automake 1.5 autoconf
autoconf 2.53
2:use Wincvs to get grub directory from CVS
use winrar  to get grub.zip
3.copy grub.zip to linux platform 
and use "unzip grub.zip"
4.from ftp.uk.linux.org ,I get the 0208 snapshot of
mtd
5."bunzip -d  mtd.tar.bz2 " 
  tar xvf mtd.tar
6.cd grub
7."patch -p0 -i
../mtd/patches/grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch " 
then I get the following output:

Why this happen ? 
It seems to have nothing to do with automake or
autoconf because the patch process doesnot need it .
Can you mail me your grub cvs version ?
For some reasons ,our country limit our access to
website of foreign countries . I have to use proxy but
when using Wincvs ,proxy often cannot work.
I guess maybe the grub cvs version is the key .
