I also noticed that your download/*.sh scripts assume that directories
already exist in libs/ before cding to them and git cloning into them.
But only some of the directories already exist, because only some of
them need to contain patches.

So errors like this occur, without a check for the error:
./73_gnome-icon-theme.sh: 2: cd: can't cd
to ../../libs/73_gnome-icon-theme
Cloning into 'gnome-icon-theme'...

which results in some git clones being put where they are probably not
expected to be.

I would prefer to put these git clones somewhere separate from the
associated patches, and I'd guess they can just go right into one
directory without the sub-directories with numerical prefixes.

So far I guess that jhbuild could do all this more robustly, but I
haven't explored everything yet.
