Well, at the moment you can do this:

However, make sure to clone the following repository instead. I have set up a backports branch.

Code:
git clone git://github.com/eli-schwartz/calibre
git checkout -b WinXP-backports
This is absolutely not official or sanctioned by Kovid Goyal, and I cannot commit to anything -- but as of now, I think all three changes should work just fine, and I am open to suggestions of other changes to be patched. (As long as they simply fix changes that were broken by outside sources. I am not personally going to port over calibre features and updates.)

This should allow a central way to manage calibre 1.48 hotfixes, although I do not know how much desire there is....
Because I think it is/could be useful.

I will probably update these kinds of bits and pieces indefinitely, as I see them come up.
