Several things changed. %patch is likely to work as before when  
rolled back in. The change
in 3 parts needs coordinated.

Also the fix for
    #%patchNN
commemnting needs revisiting, because it exposes %{_P} et al outside  
of the context in which it is used.

I'd rather add a "#%" macro primitive, or not expand comments, rather  
than hack around with
parameterized macro internals. There are reasons noty to populate  
everything in the
global macro name space.
