This should work.

From the man page:
       -pnum  or  --strip=num
          Strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes  from  each
          file  name found in the patch file.  A sequence of one or more adja-
          cent slashes is counted as a single slash.  This controls  how  file
          names  found  in  the  patch file are treated, in case you keep your
          files in a different directory than the  person  who  sent  out  the
          patch.  For example, supposing the file name in the patch file was

             /u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          setting -p0 gives the entire file name unmodified, -p1 gives

             u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          without the leading slash, -p4 gives

             blurfl/blurfl.c

          and  not specifying -p at all just gives you blurfl.c.  Whatever you
          end up with is looked for either in the current  directory,  or  the
          directory specified by the -d option.

The important part is the last one, when you don't specify -p at all it gives 
the names qyoto.cpp, Qyoto.cs, QObject.cs. The first file is found in the 
current directory; but the other two are not because the leading 'qyoto/' is 
stripped off.
