patches for OS/2 port

We were willing to tolerate a port this invasive for Windows, but it's
real hard to justify adding so much cruft for OS/2.

I agree with Tom on this. The patch is 4k context diff, and the new
files are 30k. It just seems too large for a port we are unlikely going
to be able to test or maintain. I think it is like the Netware port
where we rely out port-specific folks to maintain a patch. We can
mention the patch URL in the FAQ, and already have an OS/2 link there.
