I'll just add that I would find this patch very useful. I often keep a
directory of small patch files that I want to apply after unpacking the
source. I also like to copy in some standard files (e.g. the Cygwin README)
and sometimes other files; I could maintain those files as patches, but it's
much easier to just keep them as files and then copy them in after
unpacking. src_prep_fini_hook() is the right place to do that.
