If you want to save space then there are much bigger spkgs that could be
shrunk.

> "Maintaining" a real patch is trivial. It will still apply or not, in
which case an error message is given. The patch itself is also trivial.
P.S.: If someone fears `patch`, a trivial alternative is to simply keep
the only file from there `configure` uses, which is a redundant copy
anyway, so one could even create a symbolic link to one of the other
instances.
