New task: Patch

Hi

This is a simple wrapper around the patch command. 

It could be applied in situations like:

* You have a set of private patches you want to apply to a given
project but those are not part of the project (yet).

* Plattform specific patches need to be applied - the RedHat RPM
system's build process for example involves retrieving the "original"
source and applying RedHat's patches in a different step

Sure there are other possibilities.
