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
