the last one was another mail where i clicked "send" before thinking.

the "-p 2" would strip _at most_ the first 2 "path-elements" (see 'man 
patch' for a better explanation) of the filenames. so 
"pd/src/g_rtext.c" becomes "g_rtext.c", while "src/g_canvas.c" becomes 
"g_canvas.c" and "m_pd.h" stays the same.

so all patches should apply just as fine as they do now, and the 
string-support patch would apply too.

apart from that, i agree that all patches should be "normalized" in a way.
(and that "string" really should be "blob")
