With pre-mpatch versions, if patch is in your path and ui.patch is not 
set, --binary should be appended automatically under Windows. With 
mpatch enabled versions, ui.patch is taken first, then we use mpatch and 
if it fails we default to searching the patch utility in path, and 
append --binary under Windows.

It is assumed that if ui.patch is set manually then the user has some 
specific needs and we should not interfere by adding options afterwards.

Most of these issues should disappear when an mpath enabled version is 
released.
