[Nix-dev] referring to a patch that's packed inside the source tarball

[Mathijs Kwik]

to answer my own question:

patches = [ ./some.patch ] refers to some.patch in the nixpkg tree
patches = [ "./some.patch" ] refers to some.patch in the build dir

I just mistyped the patch name, that's why it didn't work before :)
