You mean the other way, right?  gpatch -> patch , since we already have 
patch, and need gpatch if the below is to work.

Or did you mean change the sys-devel/patch ebuild so the executable is 
named gpatch instead of patch, then create a symlink patch -> gpatch as 
suggested above.

> 2) Change references to patch in eclass/eutils.eclass to gpatch

This makes sense to me.
