 Uh-er...?
 My patch was sent "Tue May 07 07:20:02 UTC 2013".
 OTOH the page "http://www.hercules-390.eu/" which
 contains the download link has been modified 2 weeks
 later "Tue May 21 12:42:53 2013".
 So, the link which worked when I sent the patch may
 have changed on the origin site 2 weeks after the patch
 was sent.
 Now the current date is more than 5 weeks after the
 patch was sent and more than 3 weeks after the origin
 site was changed. The proper time to complain about
 the link has certainly expired already. Sorry. ;-)
