You folks have convinced me that the old patchlist was almost the
right way to go for mutt identifying what patches have been applied.
Thus, I've implemented this scheme (and will commit it to the CVS
in a moment): There's a new file called PATCHES in the source tree,
which will be empty in the official distribution.
This file's format is one patch ID per line. Patch IDs should be
the same as the file names used for distributing patches. The
format for these file names should be this:
patch-<version>.<initials>.<patch-description>.<patchlevel>
That is, Vsevolod's NNTP patch for mutt-1.3.42 could be named like
this:
patch-1.3.42.vvv.nntp.1
From PATCHES, patchlist.c will be automatically generated. In
order to properly construct PATCHES, please include the following
chunk with your patch, replacing <your-id-here> by your patch ID.

The patch IDs will be displayed when mutt is run with the 'v'
command line switch.
