Ooh, "git export-patch first..last" followed by "git am path/0001*" and
so on works quite nicely for pull series.

What's up with 0005? Adding two headers to mkflags.c: I applied it but
dunno what build context requires it?

I removed the second (wrong) SIGINT handler, applied the rest of the series.

And _then_ I figured out I need to have the start by _before_ the first
patch (start^1) because it doesn't include the starting endpoint in the
range for no readily apparently reason. (Git!)

So, applied out of order, but I think they're all there now.

Cool. :)

I'd be interested in seeing the patch.
