i'm not sure splitting patches out of src_prepare into a dedicated

Right. If we were going to take the EAPI route with this, the easiest
way would probably be to require that overridden src_prepare functions
call a magic function called "apply_user_patches_here" (and to barf if
a src_prepare finished without having called that function).
Also, maybe apply_user_patches_here should have a special return value
if there are no patches to be applied? That way, src_prepare can avoid
an eautoreconf call if there are no patches.
