i've updated the file as requested (re-installed twice since i forgot
about the email address first time).

we do have a directory macros/generic/kastrup (containing binhex); i
could move it there, if that would help.  personally, i would prefer to
perpetuate the general rule in the latex tree, with one package per
directory, so putting it in macros/generic/patch or m/g/kastrup-patch

wdyt?

i note the catalogue wittily listed the file as lppl anyway.  :-}
