What is the best method of patching software in an effort to get it
working? Obviously I can un-tar, tweak, tar back into the spool, and try
a cast, but this would be quite slow as it won't take advantage of make
tracking modified files. Is there a better method? I'm looking to make
Gabber compile, and this requires patching OpenSSL (it dies with:
/usr/include/openssl/des.h:193: declaration of `char* crypt(const char*, const
   char*)' throws different exceptions
/usr/include/unistd.h:946: than previous declaration `char* crypt(const char*,
   const char*) throw ()'
)

Basically, I don't want to do a manual ./configure, as it won't do it
with all the arguments that a cast will, but I'd like to avoid the
slowest way of putting it back in the spool to test.

Cheers,
