Yes, I thought about that. However, this means I have to create a new
patch file every time there's an update to that line.

Call me lazy (or more efficient), but I rather use one simple regex.
And yes, I definitely would not call the regex I wrote complex or
complicated. You shoud see some of the regexes that span 2 lines - those
are complicated and unreadable.

Anyhow, thanks for your input.

Cheers,
