Hmm.  When I copy-pasted the entire series of 4 patches from the
zsh-workers archive and put the whole thing through a single run of
"patch -p1", halfway through I got a "Reversed (or previously applied)
patch detected" message, which I told patch to ignore and it happily
finished.  But when I download them and apply them one at a time, that
doesn't happen.

So perhaps I misdiagnosed the reason for the "reversed".
