Yup, caught that right after I sent the updated patch :)

Ah, I didn't realize that patchname overrides all (should have). I'll fix that next
go-round.

Yeah, it's tempting. I'll play with it a bit and see what it would take. Seems it
would just take a try/except block with logic to make the patchname right (I still
would want to remove a .gz/.bz2 suffix from the patchname).

I'll make sure I have tests to go with the next patch.
