download the source, apply the patch, compile it.
There are guides around on here for the downloading and compiling.
The patching is just a standard patch.

patching is for developers who want to edit and recompile the source code...normal players shouldn't worry about it.

download whatever revision from SVN
download patchfile and put in the root directory of the downloaded svn tree
patch -p0 < patchfile.patch
If it fails saying "can't find file, here's the first 5 lines blah blah", change -p0 to p1. If same, try p2
If one or more "hunks" fails, then you're trying to apply it to a revision that it wasn't made for and something about the code it's looking for has changed and thus the patch isn't compatable.

Applying 2 patches at once is fine, with the caveat that if they are trying to modify a same bit of code, the second will have the "hunks" failing error and it won't work.

.patchfiles are human-readable. If something fails and you are ambitious, you can often go "apply" it manually yourself to the code.
