PATCH_URI is a list of one or more patches which are applied to the 
source immediately after unpacking.  Like SRC_URI, you can specify 
remote URIs (e.g. from other distros) or just a filename to indicate a 
patch saved alongside the .cygport file.  Using PATCH_URI with local 
patches makes it easier to carry patches forward from one release to 
another.

Ports git <http://cygwin-ports.git.sourceforge.net/> provides a wide 
variety of packages to learn from.
