The patch adds shading to wire frames while in Edit Mode. This makes viewing complex meshes much easier and aids in the selection of vertices, edges, and faces. More information can be found at:

Someone in the forum recommended that I submit the patch soon because a release is upcoming. So, here it is for you to use if you wish to do so.
