        Yes :-) if you run: 'build verbose=1' inside that directory you'll see
the steps:

cd ./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build && ( gzip -d -c 
/opt/OpenOffice/HEAD/src/fdb27bfe2dbe2e7b57ae194d9bf36bab-SampleICC-1.3.2.tar.gz  | tar -xvf -) && 
touch so_unpacked_icc
..
make writeable...
/usr/bin/perl /opt/OpenOffice/loffice/solenv/bin/leconvert.pl unix 
./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/SampleICC-1.3.2/IccProfLib/IccTagProfSeqId.h 
./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/SampleICC-1.3.2/IccProfLib/IccTagProfSeqId.cpp 
./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/SampleICC-1.3.2/Contrib/ICC_utils/Stubs.h 
./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/SampleICC-1.3.2/Contrib/ICC_utils/Vetters.cpp && touch 
./unxlngi6.pro/misc/icc_convert_unx_flag
cd ./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build && cat ../../..//SampleICC-1.3.2.patch | patch  -p2 && touch 
so_patched_icc
..
cd ./unxlngi6.pro/misc/build && cat ../../..//SampleICC-1.3.2.patch | patch  -p2 && touch 
so_patched_icc

        And then it converts some files back: presumably the mix of DOS and
UNIX line endings poisons some versions of patch / diff, so ... it might
make some sense :-)

        I guess you want to operate on the patch in that middle state by
manually leconverting those files (?).

        Thanks !

                Michael.
