+PERMANENT PATCHES
+=================
+
+These patches are updated as need be, as several distributions (that
+is, their t-prot package maintainers) use them to adapt t-prot to the
+distribution's environment. They will _not_ get dropped just because
+nobody bugs me. :)
+
+Users: Please note that these patches will most likely be applied by the
+t-prot package maintainer(s) of your distribution (if the distribution
+makes use of said Slang, mutt and gnupg versions).
+
+t-prot-*-gol.diff
+=================
+Getopt::Mixed is abandoned and marked deprecated by its author, and many
+distributions would like nothing better than to get rid of it. Using this
+patch, you can make t-prot use Getopt::Long (which comes bundled with
+standard perl).
+
+If you know how to deal with the serious performance impacts Getopt::Long
+brings along, please drop me an email. Thanks.
