OK, I understand your problem.  The build_myth.sh script uses an archive
created from the git repo.  This process will ignore uncommitted changes
so the simple solution is to execute:

git commit -am"Add mheg iplayer" 

after the patch is applied.  NB be sure to patch the repo used by the
script which by default is:
/.../mythpackaging/../mythtv/
