Hello,

The following patch (inspired by Achim Bohnet) gives simple-patchsys.mk the 
ability to handle uuencoded patches. Aside from applying the patch, you'd 
simply have to add a Recommends for sharutils.

Please do apply the patch soon if it looks OK - uu-encoding is the easiest 
way to ship binaries in a diff, and this ability is very important for KDE, 
where branch updates often include new icons, etc.

Thanks,
Christopher Martin
