Wait, this was just a mistake I think.  It's not a cover letter.  It's
not part of the eight patch series but it probably was intended to be as
you suggest.

The patches are basically okay.  Greg applies patches in the order that
he recieves them so it should all apply fine.  And if it doesn't Greg
will just ask for a resend.  No big deal.
