Andrew's patch-scripts did spread files all around the source tree when
I last checked.

You can set the QUILT_PATCHES and QUILT_PC directories as you wish.
Although I don't see the benefit in doing so, both can point to the same
directory. the patches directory contains the "valuable" pieces of
information, while the .pc directory only contains meta information that
can be recreated by re-aplying the patches from the start.

Well, each command sets up whatever it needs, so no initialization is
required.
