It's related to the smime plugin, because that edits a Makefile.am!

Now that the smime plugin is in CVS, we should be able to go
completely patch-free!  Woot!

To answer your second question: The patch file itself contains
instructions: 

$ aclocal -I m4   && libtoolize --force --copy   && autoheader   && automake --add-missing --foreign --copy   && autoconf
$ rm -fR autom4te.cache
$ cd ..
$ diff -rupN claws-{orig,-new}

The first line is something I made up myself: It should be whatever
you use in the project to regenerate the files.  I don't even remember
where I got it from.

Thanks,
Marcus
