I have applied all of the ecj patches.  The thing that was causing the patch
to fail is this

I still cannot get anything other than hotspot to compile correctly.  There
are a bunch of manual steps that I have to do for that (hotspot).

How can a patch be created that would handle both versions of the file?

I think the plan is to get the BSD port working correctly and then merge the
changes into the main repo, but I could be wrong on that.  I know that the
merges from the main repo are applied to the bsd port.
