New description:
On Windows 7 an executable named patch.exe will not run (UAC prevents
this), unless
it is accompanied by patch.exe.manifest.

So we just should not build it there, and use the Cygwin's patch instead.
I hope Cygwin's native 2.5.8 patch is good enough.
The modified patch spkg is here:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/dima/packages/patch-2.5.9.p1.spkg
(tested on Linux and on Win 7 with and without patch installed)
