Patch Multiple Files from Multiple Directories

  The <<<maven-patch-plugin>>> can be configured to apply sets of patches from multiple directories.
  In the example below, the plugin is setup to apply all the patches in a <<<bugfix>>> directory with 
  optimization (will not reapply the same patch) and also from an <<<enhancement>>> directory.  This 
  scenario might crop up if you don't have commit access to a projects source yet need to apply 
  bugfix and enhancement patches.  The two different patch source directories are shown purely as 
  an example of what can be configured.
