Doesn't work if the patched project itself is not a module

[Sergej Burbach]

The automated patching is not working if the project itself is not a module (dosn't have an own module and info file) but contains submodules.

e.g. Views Datasource

This is the problem when the project name and root module name are disconnected, which itself is a bug of the module. I'm not sure we can support those cases.

[Chris Zietlow]

Let's add domain_bonus to this list of projects that only contain submodules and no .modules or .info files.

I agree 100% with @davereid in sentiment, but it appears there are a few abandoned D7 modules that aren't likely to accept a patch to refactor their modules directory. Not sure whether it's best to patch our toolchain to allow this, or leave these abandoned modules un-accounted for with the tool that manages our patching process. Is this ultimately a support issue for d.o. team to help with?

Any advice?
