I didn't think I had, but perhaps that was because the new test failure
introduced just before in 1f5b4ed was masking things.

It's a nice system, when it's working right. Hopefully
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/456 will get some attention.

It mails the emacs-buildstatus list when failures occur, but sometimes
there is a delay (not sure why, list moderation?).

BTW, in 226cafd, call-process already does a PATH lookup when needed.
Also, the hard-coding of "-z.orig" means this test will fail with some
of the older "patch" versions that ediff supports (cf ediff-backup-specs).
