  trying to make a long story short, i'm using freescale's "ltib"
utility to build a cross-compiled (m68k) root filesystem, and their
utility sometimes bundles patches with the pristine source tarballs
for packages.

  for dropbear-0.45, this is the single associated patch that is
incorporated into the ltib build that i'm using:

=======================================

  i can't use dropbear-0.45 since i need port forwarding so i figure i
might as well upgrade to 0.52.  i've downloaded the source tarball for
0.52 and that patch no longer applies very well.  is it (or some
equivalent) even needed anymore?  if not, i can just replace the older
source with the newer and toss any reference to a patch.  thanks.
