If you have the complete 1.3-source archives, there are patches for
1.3->1.3.1 and 1.3.1->1.3.2. No need to get the whole thing again.

They should be in the source/patches directory, are called 
diff-1.3-to-1.3.1.gz and diff-1.3.1-to-1.3.2.gz, both less than 200k
in size.


Unpack the 1.3-source archives and then apply the patches, probably
like:

   cd /usr/src
   gunzip <wherever>/diff-1.3-to-1.3.1.gz | patch -p1
   gunzip <wherever>/diff-1.3.1-to-1.3.2.gz | patch -p1
