I can't comment on their usefulness, but the files they apply
to are obvious if you understand the patch format.  For example
files/patch-png.cxx has these lines:

--- src/raster-png.cxx.orig     2004-09-27 06:45:31.000000000 +0200
+++ src/raster-png.cxx  2012-05-04 12:59:52.000000000 +0200

and it applies to src/raster-png.cxx.  The warnings patch applies to
several files, just look for the ---/+++ pairs.
