The fink patches are not fully in.
I just figured something i may have not made clear about these patches.
While it's really nice to include changes that can made it in the mainstream distribution, the patch file provided mainly contains fink- specific changes. I didn't expected the patch to be applied to the mainstream source.
However, the pike7.6.patch file should be available alongside the pike7.6.info file for being able to build the package.
