We should maybe stress that this is for patching an already compiled library (what the "thirdparty" name already hints at), not for patching the library that's currently built.
I was a bit confused by this ...

Is this too long?
Use it in your `build.rs` to patch an **already compiled external static library**
before linking it into your crate. In the example below, `vendor/libthirdparty.a`
must already exist.
This does **not** patch the library produced by the current crate: Cargo runs
`build.rs` before compiling that crate, so its output library is not available yet.
To patch your own crate's static library, first build it, then use the
[CLI tool](#as-a-cli-tool-post-build) as a separate post-build step.
