You are my hero. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how
to deal with this a few months ago, and the use of UNIQUE_ID was the
key. Yay!

I think it's pretty darn close. One thing that can be done to test the
results for the first 12 patches is to do a binary comparison -- these
changes _should_ have no impact on the final machine code. (It'll
totally change the debug sections, etc, but the machine code should be
the same.)
