Adaption to patches (list gives file patched, not patch name):
Makefile.am: modify cpkglocalstatedir instead of -DPKGLOCALSTATEDIR/$(mkinstalldirs) argument
configure.ac: adapted comment
src/memory.c: adapted pagesize/getpagesize() handling in NetBSD implementation to upstream re-work
multiple: new context (including #include paths, _Bool->bool, indentation), line numbers
Obsolete patches (or parts thereof), now included upstream:
