I see... that would explain it.

For future reference, though, how does one go about discovering which 
patches to apply? Most of those file names don't associate them with 
emacs in any obvious way, and `cygcheck -f' claims that none of them 
belong to any package... do you have to go dig up the source package's 
package file and look inside?
