I don't know how you're doing your patches, but it must have taken less
than five minutes over here.  

You could even do a "for"-loop with csh like: 

  touch patchlog
  foreach i (pg95-patches/p*)
  patch -p < $i >>& patchlog
  end 

You might need to add a '-l' after the '-p' in the patch command.

That also assumes that your patches are in the pg95-patches/ subdirectory 
underneath the current directory.
