No shame in asking why the tools don't work as they should.
In this case, the fo-patch-for-fop.xsl stylesheet is
no longer needed if you are using version 0.20.5 of FOP.
Try skipping that step.  You will still get a lot
of FOP noise, but you should get a PDF file.

We should probably remove that patch file from
the distribution.  Sorry it caused you headaches.
