Since the SDK keeps changing all the time, it might be a good idea to
have a Sed script that does the patching, in addition to the diffs to
be applied by the `patch' utility. Sed and `patch' have different
advantages and disadvantages: Sed is less sensitive to significant
changes in the files, since you can craft a script whose context is
exactly as appropriate to each one of the edits you need to perform;
while `patch' is very sensitive to small changes in surrounding
context, but can be relied upon to not produce a wrong file due to
significant changes.
