I don't think this is the case.  I delete the directory tree and recreate it
before running the patches through each time.  This is necessary the build
process as yet doesn't work for me.  When I tried running the patches over
semi-patched files, I got sick of hitting n all the time (the number of patches
is quite large!) and decided to delete the tree and uncompress the archives.
Fortunately the machine is quite fast and it doesn't take very long (10-20s) but
it shouldn't be necessary, it should build in one pass and not need me poking
it.  It's not the maintainers fault, it's just incompatibilities between Unices
and Windows and lack of foresight (DOS 11 character names, with an ugly hack to
account for long names, that kind of thing).
