Hi,
I looked at them - the only useful patches are:

As for this patch - it's funny to see it (NetBSD is the most portable OS) -
it seems they are shipping AW for all architectures NetBSD supports (though
I'm not sure) so that they triggerred the bug on some exotic architecture AW
wasn't available before. This means that AW is really VERY portable..

But don't apply freebsd.6.patch - I'll come with more correct version of the
same logic before april release (their patch is broken since it doesn't allow
symlinks instead of directories).
Other patches are distribution-specific and are in general not of interest
for us IMO.
Thanks for collecting patches!
