if you specify a patch to `epatch` which does not exist based on the name
alone, epatch will now search for it in EPATCH_SOURCE. this makes it useful
to apply a set of patches which have a specific order but cannot use the
existing lexicographical search.
quick example is a debian patchset that does not have names to imply sorting.
instead, all the patches are ordered according to a file. so now you can do:
EPATCH_SOURCE=$WORKDIR/debian/patches epatch $(<series)
