I don't want to do wholesale patching of the Trinity source until I can
build at least the base modules (including kdegraphics/kdenetwork/etc.) in
a batch, which means that CMake has to progress a bit more before I can
really deal with them.

This is because it is very easy to introduce compilation and functionality
errors when applying patches, and without an immediate rebuild test and
functionality check it can be very hard to narrow down exactly what went
wrong where at some future date.

Thanks for bringing them to my attention though!
