+
+  Add support to passing directories to EXTRA_PATCHES.
+
+  Instead of:
+
+    EXTRA_PATCHES=        ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file.c \
+                          ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file.h \
+                          ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo-patch-file2.c
+
+  Move those files to ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo/, name them patch-*, and set:
+
+    EXTRA_PATCHES=        ${PATCHDIR}/feat-foo
+
