Do it by hand.

Assuming it's not too large a patch I've found it easier to use a good old fashioned text editor to copy and paste it in.

The patch will have the name of the file to be patched, the name of the function(s) within it to be patched and the line directly preceding the point of insertion/deletion..

lines to be removed have a - in front of them
lines to be added have a + in front of them

It's generally pretty obvious.

Do always try it on your test site first tho!!

Good luck

I wrote small blog post describing how to install the patch using the linux path utility ; linked here.
