I'd agree with David here *if* we had a way to return the file back
on the vendor branch.  Unfortunately, it's impossible with the current
version of CVS.  Until then, when the changes are believed to be
temporary (e.g., there's a hope they will be accepted by upstream or
a better solution is in works that can similarly be accepted when done),
using patch(1) looks reasonable.
