applets-fallback.patch - needs explaining what it achieves

init-console.patch - needs explaining why this is necessary

make_gen_build_files_skip_quilt.patch
	- needs to add comment and use less mind-bending escaping (.\?\* - ???)

shell-ash-export-HOME.patch - exports PATH. bash doesn't do it. Why?

strip.patch - why? it seems to work fine as-is

swaponoff-FreeBSD-support.patch, u-mount-FreeBSD-support.patch - big, needs review

version.patch - why?


The rest was already in git, or has been pushed to git.
