For the GUI part (export_attributes.patch) you can also copy the changes 
manually into gui/wxpython/lmgr/layertree.py in your GRASS installation 
directory (GISBASE).

For the v.db.select change you need to patch (or apply manually - there 
are not that many changes) and then recompile the module.
