Exactly. So that when I download new KHR headers, I just apply the
patch to them (and hope it applies), and if not, look at what was
being done and try to repeat the process. Then I regenerate the patch
against the (new) originals and check the whole thing in.

OK. Well, your call. I'm definitely going to do it next time I update
headers (which will hopefully not be soon, given how much trouble it's
caused this time around).
