That't not quite what I wanted to do. Your procedure is equivalent to:
create 2.4.4 sources
patch 2.4.4 -> 2.4.5
patch for Win4Lin
Mine is:
create 2.4.4 sources
patch for Win4Lin
patch 2.4.4 -> 2.4.5
I was pretty sure the first one would work. I was questioning whether the
second one was equivalent and, if not, whether the differences mattered.
