Can you give the context of these patches?
I see there are newer versions available:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/unique/log/
Perhaps a more recent release would not require the patches?
In any case, remember you have to register the patches in gnu_system.am
(dist_patch_DATA). There's a recent example in 4e58a402.

How about "Library for writing single instance applications"?

I think we should steal Debian's description:
"Libunique is a library for writing single instance application. If you
launch a single instance application twice, the second instance will
either just quit or will send a message to the running instance.
Libunique makes it easy to write this kind of applications, by providing a
base class, taking care of all the IPC machinery needed to send messages
to a running instance, and also handling the startup notification side."
