I tried -p1 but two hunks did not apply. Before going further, I  
wanted to make sure you had the most recent version and to find out  
how you generated it. I'll try again when I have a moment.

In any event, you should use the mercurial syntax to generate and  
apply changesets. If you have questions to how to generate, apply, etc  
changesets, please ask there are many here more skillful than I.
