I like the most recent cygport change in Git that allows one to omit

something similar for the .src.patch and .cygwin.patch files? The
advantage would be the avoidance of file renames, as with the .cygport
change.
Not really, because I don't recommend maintaining patches in the form
of .src.patch and .cygwin.patch. After making code patches, I copy
the .src.patch into one or more patches with appropriate names, which I
then add to PATCH_URI and keep in version control. As
for .cygwin.patch, with automatic setup.hint generation and no need for
Cygwin READMEs, there isn't much of a need for CYGWIN-PATCHES anymore.
