I hacked some changes to create vogon-compatibility. Maybe you like it.
I'm not completely happy, but it's too late now.
Changes:
- Make first column more terse
- Move full download links to a seperate table, where they can be found.
- Add <h2> headings above the patches and above the tarballs
- Add some hints
- Create a dead link to a patching-HOWTO
- Add a 'applies to:' column
- fix legend to match changes
