## "dotest" is my stupid name for my patch-application script, which
## I never got around to renaming after I tested it. We're now on the
## second generation of scripts, still called "dotest".
##
## Update: Ryan Anderson finally shamed me into naming this "applymbox".
##
## You give it a mbox-format collection of emails, and it will try to
## apply them to the kernel using "applypatch"
