So are the files supposed to have DOs-Style line endings (CRLF) or 
Linux-Style line endinngs (LF) ?

You might want to include a .gitattributes file which forces the line 
ending onto the correct format.

I tried the tls-mingwrt.3.20.patch both with LF and CRLF line endings 
and in both cases it fails to apply.

It also seems that your script does not download
