Good point. I did not realize that there's just one patch left that we
actually apply. So it's not that much. ;)
(Switching was trivial, took two minutes.)

I did not want to advertise it as "the" patch system, I just think it's a lot
easier to use than dpatch. This saves time and prevents headaches which I
think to be a Good Thing (TM). Have had way to much discussion about tools,
and probably will have more. That's inenvitable.
Anyway, after playing around a little I came up with a solution that fits my
workflow and uses dpatch. So we can leave things as is. This was a suggestion
anyway, sorry if it appeared otherwise. (And if upstream switches to Git,
everything will be great!)
Best regards
Manuel, a happy Git fan
