 FWIW I have and do use a similar approach in a few other projects. (mostly
 debian packaging patches to allow things to also work on ubuntu, 64bit
 versions, etc)

 All in all I have not enjoyed the experience, I have found it quite
 painful to maintain/rebuild the patch sets every time a change is applied
 in trunk.

 but YMMV and I may well be going about it the hard way.
