Aha, ok, Thank you choroba. I should have been able to figure that out, but the partial path deceived me. Before receiving your reply I made up a patch locally.

... Good lord, this worked! I must show the console/tty output I got, because I am so amazed and delighted that such a complex-seeming apparatus actually worked on my trouble-prone system:

Applying 1 patch:
  C:/Users/somia/Documents/Patches/Distroprefs/Module-Manifest-Skip-SOMIAN.patch
  D:/SBP/c/bin/patch.exe -N --fuzz=3 -p1
patching file lib/Module/Manifest/Skip.pm

This is pretty cool stuff. Who invented the distroprefs for CPAN.pm?
