Sorry, but the patch as is is wrong fore sure. I've seen "lp" instead  
of "lpr", and even at least one wrong path. For other paths I would  
have to check to say something definitive. A little bit more work is  
needed to get an update of this into FreeBSD. How did you proceeded to  
have a look at the update?

Here's how I would do it:
  1) diff the version we have with the same version of the vendor
    + in case of a difference the functionaility needs to be
      forward ported
  2) diff the vendor src of the version of what we have with the
     next version after it
  3) add the differences to our version taking 1) into account
     and taking care if some path which may be in the new version
     is OK for us
  3.5) if in doubt, ask here, together with a description of what is
        changed / improved / new
  4) repeat from 2) until the most recent version is reached

Bye,
Alexander.
