Ok, for all that queried: I have put up a little web page with the original
old patch (1.3, but worked on 1.4 too) and a new patch for 1.5.3_Alpha
(head of the 1.5 release branch as of this morning).

The latter compiles, but is untested.

You can find them at http://www.duskware.com/plip

If it works for anyone I would be glad to hear success stories ;-)
