3030 Specifies the utility used to apply patches for a recipe
3031 during <filename>do_patch</filename>.
3032 The default utility used is "quilt" except for the
3033 quilt-native recipe itself.
3034 Because the quilt-native recipe is not available at the
3035 time it is being patched, it uses "patch".
