Thanks again for the feedback and help.

I dug up some Debian, Fedora, and OpenSuSE patches, and added them to the cygport.
OpenSuSE patches appear only to be available in their source package, or online 
in their HTML page, for which I came up with a script to grab a package's patch 
URLs, scrape those web pages for the patch source, and convert from HTML to 
patch text. Do you know if there is any way to access OBS patches as plain text?

This build avoids autoreconf (from Eric).
It would make sense to list DIFF_EXCLUDES in DISTCLEANFILES to avoid them being 
packaged in the first place, as long as that did not break the build.

So should I set DISTCLEANFILES to all the files *created* in the following log 
extracts, and set DIFF_EXCLUDES to those for which patches are created, or could 
more of each list be added to both?
