Take a look at bash and readline, where I distinguish between Chet Ramey's official upstream patches vs. my cygwin-specific patches; the bash-3.0-14.patch contains only my differences after the upstream patches have been applied. In particular, my modifications to g-b-s for bash 3.0-14 or readline 5.1-1 try to be pretty generic about bundling the upstream patches. If you find it useful, or have any improvements, then I can consider making the patch robust enough to propose for g-b-s itself. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
