Well, I dunno - just take a look at those 3rd party patches that do exist.
None of them seems to have the quality of the real thing. Problem is that
most people trying to patch have not really grasped to concept of the
original code.
Personally, I'd prefer waiting for that original Jesux NT, rev. 1.7 which has
been awaited for such a long time now. According to those rumours, that might
be the most important update since that step from Mosix to Jesux NT...
