Is there a reason why we don't include GNU patch as a spkg, or it is
just a matter of "nobody ever did it"?

For the pari spkg (remember #9343?), I actually automated the process of
generating patched files from the patches in a file spkg-make.  This was
really needed, because there were like 10 patches or so and I was making
a new spkg at least once per day...
