[hobbit] Warnings and patch oddities

Rob, GNU patch seems to figure it out just fine.  But GNU patch is not
the same as the patch that may already be present on your system.  In my
case (Solaris) I had to go hunt it down on sunfreeware and install it
before I could get Hobbit patching to work right.

I'm seeing a slew of these on a fresh DL of hobbit 4.2.0 and the
allinone.patch:

currant:~# patch -p5 <allinone.patch
missing header for unified diff at line 4 of patch patching file
hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/bbgen.h missing header for unified diff at line
39 of patch patching file hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/loadbbhosts.c
missing header for unified diff at line 132 of patch patching file
hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/loadbbhosts.h
missing header for unified diff at line 145 of patch patching file
hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/loaddata.c missing header for unified diff at
line 244 of patch patching file hobbit-4.2.0/bbdisplay/pagegen.c missing
header for unified diff at line 376 of patch patching file
hobbit-4.2.0/bbnet/bbtest-net.c

i don't really know what they mean.
I note also that the patching instructions are not correct as-is.  They
state: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbitsw/patches/

'All patches should be applied using GNU patch. "cd" to the hobbit-4.2.0
directory, then run "patch -p0 <allinone.patch".'

However, since the path specified in the patch file is
/home/henrik/hobbit/release/hobbit-4.2.0

i do not think this will work unless you are Henrik :)
