Technically, simply running "make makepatch" would convert them all.
However, you don't necessarily need to do this.  Patches are volatile

"make makepatch" (and not later overwriting it) should be enough.

There's an explanatory comment around line 1102 of b.p.m. that explains
how makepatch works.
