The first msn-p13-merge-head.diff.gz from SF Patch #1621854 from Ka-Hing Cheung. "uploaded a diff, this diff is unchanged from the last tarball that I previously uploaded, except that it's against HEAD. This should be a little easier for most people." (This was apparently msn-p13-merge-head.diff, which SourceForge didn't allow to be uploaded.) PLUS "Updated the diff with basically no change, except with simom's icon fix. The previous diff was broken because some of the files were not added"
