do it like you started - cherry-pick the issue to 4-4 branch.
Then you have to rework. This has to be manually, the chabges from the 
new file has to be moved to their origin place.

Sometimes it's worth to write the patch new from the scratch if the 
changes are too much. i also had to do something like this for the 
datetimepicker (much smaller change though)
