You might want to try the following: Select the patch from http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.wine.patches/ , select the link after "Direct link" on the bottom, append "/raw" without quotation marks after the URL. Now you can save the file at that URL as is and use it with patch, it will ignore the headers.
It works! Cool! (but a little complicated ;-) Thanks a lot for hint!
