It would be nice to have usefull tips, or perhaps recommendations, in the
wiki.
I've started a page describing how to deal with this. I'm not sure
where it should best be placed/linked in the wiki, so I made it an
orphan page.

As always, others should feel free to correct any errors and fill in any
missing details.

'touch', not patch.
I run into this quite a lot. In addition to patching both configure.ac
and configure.in, you'll need to 'touch' all of the "Makefile.in" files
in the package, since they likely have a dependency on configure.in.
That's only needed for projects whose authors do not use
AM_MAINTAINER_MODE.
Instead of touching all Makefile.in's you could restore the original
timestamp with:
| touch -r configure configure.stamp
| ... patch configure ...
| touch -r configure.stamp configure
That's an even better solution. Thanks for the tip.
