You're correct -- you would need to recompile from source to apply the
patch.  However, the patch is only for amtapetype, which is only
responsible for determining the tapetype you would use in your
amanda.conf.  If other folks on the list have a working tapetype
declaration for your drive (HP Ultrium LTO1(100/200 GB)), then you may
be able to skip using amtapetype altogether.

If that doesn't work, I can build a patched version of that utility
and send it to you by email.
