   Thanks for the remarks, will fix that at some point.   
      
   I never checked the GX2 patch by myself until recently, and I'd say it   
   doesn't contribute much, sometimes changes things to the worse (not   
   considering different CPU architectures), so it's better to simply skip it.   
   The changes I've made to GX 2.1 (will upload at some point) usually   
   achieve more.
