Comment(by scribu):

 widget_setup.patch adds a new mandatory method called setup() where the
 widget args are defined.

 This method is then called from the WP_Widget constructor.

 The advantage is that you don't have to deal with messy constructors for
 each widget. Also, the code is easier to read.
