 hi,
 that patch was committed years ago; if you would like to find the
 patches pkgsrc is currently carrying against graphviz upstream, see
    http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/graphics/graphviz/patches/?only_with_tag=MAIN
 
 and I think all of those are at least semi-upstreamable except the
 patch to configure; unfortunately that does appear to include changes
 that aren't reflected in the configure.ac patch, like the
 GUILE_VERSION one.
 
 however this is all many versions on so it may not be of any further
 interest. Let me know if I should just close this PR.
 
 (we are not any better equipped for AIX than we were then, either, as
 far as I know -- people who use it appear occasionally but that's
 about it.)
