It is just as easy as your method, so I don't see a problem (since everything is being done by hand; updating the sums from a script would be another story).

Why *that*?

What you want is globs:
for f in "$srcdir"/*.patch; do
patch -p1 <"$f"
done
@topic
I tested it with Starcraft II a couple of days ago and unfortunately I didn't notice any differences. I had a replay with a lot of units on the screen at the end of the game, and I just watched this one scene with various Wine configurations. Vanilla gave me ~20 fps on two cores and ~24 with one (using taskset), and it was the same with these patches applied. With the older patch for Nvidia and __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 it jumped to 30-35 fps.
Maybe it's because of my CPU; it would be great to see other people reporting their experiences. I'll try to test my config today/tomorrow (more extensively this time).
