In the source package are three files, the original source, the 
paptchfile and the script, after extracting the source run:
$ ./httpd-2.0.52-1.sh prep
This extracts the source and aplies the patch
$ ./httpd-2.0.52-1.sh conf
$ ./httpd-2.0.52-1.sh build
$ ./httpd-2.0.52-1.sh install
...

See the bottom of the script, there is an option 'all' which runs
all needed script targets, there are some more eg. 'strip'.
It should work to run
$ ./httpd-2.0.52-1.sh all
which will create a new binary tarball and a new source tarball.

There is also a script included in my patch which creates the
loadable shared modules.  What I have not fixed is the Apache script
which is used to build third party extension modules.  It should be
sufficient to build the modules as static archives, then take a look
at the script in the modules directory of the apache source how to
create a shared library/module from the static archives.  After the
module DLL is created, copy it to the modules path and add it in
httpd.conf.

However, I saw problems with loading websites greater than 8k.
