Why can't you just add CLANG_PATCHES to or append them directly in PATCH_URI,
as we do with other patch sources like Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, OpenSuSE, ...?

Cygport patching iterates thru -p1..5 and other options to take care of 
subdirectories for you - try it!

If you have a necessity to use src_patch_hook, then rather than generate 
CLANG_PATCHES values using eval, everywhere else in Cygport uses indirection
${!PATCH_PROJ} with PATCH_PROJ=CLANG_PATCHES; or avoid implementing an unused 
unnecessary future expansion design feature entirely and just use the variable 
directly in `for list in $CLANG_PATCHES`, only getting fancier when you really 
need to?
