Ketchup 0.9.5 kernel patching tool

I've finally kicked out a new release of my ketchup kernel patching
tool. Ketchup is a tool for updating or switching between versions of
the Linux kernel source. It can:

* find the latest versions of numerous kernel trees
* calculate which patches are needed to move to that version
* download any patches or tarballs that aren't cached
* check GPG signatures where available
* apply and unapply patches to get the desired result

So for instance, I can painlessly switch a tree from 2.6.12-rc2-mm1 to the
latest -rt patch from Ingo by typing:

$ ketchup 2.6-rt

The latest version can be found at:
