The patch in
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.scm/49645includes
/../ as a path component; as noted in
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-users/2011-March/001249.htmland
not resolved otherwise that I could find, this construct will not work
on Fedora 14 or 15 because a security patch prevents application of patches
that include up-directory components in the paths.

My bitbake skills are not presently up to cleanly creating and applying a
patch to a file outside the S directory; how should this be fixed?  (I'm
hoping for something other than "don't use Fedora".)
