Ah ha!  So, what's going on here is that upstream patches that we fetch
have the 'bad' behavior of encoding '..' into the path and newer
versions of 'patch' fail to apply these due to security concerns.

We can kludge around this by making the recipe use say 'git' as the
patch apply tool but someone should go yell at upstream.  Or we need to
update to a newer version of bash where maybe upstream is publishing
better behaved patches.
