It was a fresh install - no other patches applied - apart from my hacks.
Patch was applied manually (cut and pasted in the appropriate parts) and
worked ok - I do seem to recall disagreeing with something on the +-

At the moment it does ASM/SSM and v4/v6 out of the box, so it is a good
start - and due to its popularity in the v6 world there does seem to be
ongoing work on it.
