I don't know why, but it seems I can't apply your patch to
the CVS repository. Could you try re-generating it with
"cvs diff -urN"  ??

I like to keep several versions to be able to compare their output.
Hinting is a subtle process. Sometimes, an "improvement" can enhance
the appearance of many fonts, while "breaking" some others. Having
several versions in the source allows easier comparisons in debug
mode. Note that in normal builds, only "pshalgo3" is used however..
