afaik quilt has not had a hard dependency on coreutils, except that
mail uses GNU date and uniq features.  If possible, could we avoid
this dependency as it is a very large package, or turn the error into
a warning that mail wont work?

The attached patch addresses the uniq side of things, however the
ordering of the patches with duplicate subjects wont be exactly the
same, unless a sort is added back in.  Also, I havent had time to test
this on many platforms.
