No.  Think "functional patches".  You want as little dependency between
patches as possible.  If the code in one patch needs something in a
header file, or in a .in file, all those changes belong together in the
same patch.

In fact, patch 13 probably should be broken into several separate
patches, as it does more than one thing.
