The following patch needs to be applied, I need to restudy the term
'alphabetically ordered'.

/Me humbly throws himself at the mercy of the coding gods.

i've done just enough on this to come up with a proper patch file
(ifenslave.pat), rather than the tar of individual diffs originally
provided.  and i've included the alphabetical reordering mentioned in the
other note.

however, this applet isn't ready for primetime, in my opinion.  it hasn't
been trimmed or modified at all, as far as i can tell, and makes no use of
the libbb.  someone should probably do some of that cleanup before this is
applied.
