OK with me, but that's contrary to the recommendations...

Optionally, this patch could also unpack inside the source tree:
boffo-1.0-1/README
boffo-1.0-1/configure
boffo-1.0-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES/boffo-1.0-1.patch
etc...
However, that tends to complicate actually creating the patch itself.
Unless one enjoys recursion, one must move the .patch file OUT of the
source tree, regenerate the patch to incorporate any new changes, and
then copy the new patch back into .../CYGWIN-PATCHES/. This option
is documented because some existing packages do it this way, but it
is not recommended for new packages. Make boffo-1.0-1.patch a
top-level member of the -src tarball instead:
