Hello to everyone

I just noted that the current version of patchutils depends on python3, 
it was not the case some versions ago:

https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/patchutils.html

This is unexpected, and currently not the case for most Linux, 
distributions, see for example

https://packages.debian.org/sid/patchutils

Could it be that the dependency has been added by accident?

Best

Federico
