This patch is shipped in a format that cannot be processed by
open source tools. It's the evolution of the tool
used to patch Doom, Blake Stone & others before...

This patch doesn't provide binary patches, just a bunch of new file;
it's maybe easier to reverse-engineer than the ones with binary diffs.

When installing both the game & the patch with wine;
I have all the files needed to build a .deb
identical to the one made from assets provided in GOG.com version.

So I added instructions in help_text
