Indeed, you're right. So this::

  patch -p0 < ../Patches/*

will only work if there is only one patch. For more than one patch, one
could do this::

  find ../Patches/ -exec patch -p0 -i \{\} \;

but that's a long way from the ZenFromZopeCoders page .. Which makes me
wonder again if Evan uses a different version of 'patch'?
