The "patch" utility is part of the (surprise, surprise) "patch" package.
Luckily for you, the "patchutils" package depends on the "patch" package,
so setup installed it for you at no extra cost.

For the future, if you need to find out which package contains a
particular utility, use the Cygwin package search page at
<http://cygwin.com/packages/>.  It usually helps to append ".exe" to the
name of the executable, or prepend "bin/" to it (the ".exe" trick doesn't
work for symlinks and shell scripts).

Hmm, let's see: <http://cygwin.com/packages/>, type in "bin/autoreconf",
hit "Go", and voila -- "Found 6 matches for bin/autoreconf".  I'll let you
actually perform the above to find out which packages contain it.

Ehm, <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PCYMTNQREAIYR>.  Thanks.
