Hi Peter,

The file quilt/fork.in is missing.

The patch adds a copy of .pc/applied-patches (the list of applied patchers) 
that include the path names to the patches. I don't like this approach, it 
allows inconsistencies between the two files. Would Tom rework this to store 
the path names directly in .pc/applied-patches? This will require a few 
changes in other scripts, but the result will be better.

Somebody should rework the patch name mangling inside the scripts from passing 
the mangled name to passing the full name between the scripts. I am planning 
to eventually do that, but I have no time in the foreseeable future. Maybe 
you or Tom wants to give that a try.

The $"blah" syntax in the scripts is for internationalization. (Weird to have 
i18n shell scripts, isn't it?)

You mean this?

        $ cd $WORKING_DIR
        $ ln -s $PATCHES_DIR patches


Cheers,
