I think that removing the -p1 from the patch.pre_args will cause the
patch not the be applied, looking at the debug output of the install
seems to confirm this.

the patch-pwdup.diff is applied on Leopard to fix the "percent_expand:
NULL replacement" error you get when the identify file isn't
specified, this is the current upstream proposed fix which
unfortunately conflicts with the high-performance patch. So at the
moment, the hpn variant won't work on Leopard. I'll see if get the two
patches playing nicely together.
