It will work if whoever distributed the patches has half a clue.  Any
such individual will name the patches with a sortable prefix, like
00- 01- 02- .  Or *something* similar, so that the glob returns the
patches in the correct order.

If this hasn't been done, then the end user would somehow have to deduce
the correct order in which to apply the patches.  How an end user would
guess this is beyond me.
