I'm glad you sent it to the list, BUT:

Just FYI because of the MIME base-64 encoding it blew up to 2,242 bytes
with mail headers and your short note.  It's rarely, if ever, necessary
to post these kinds of things as MIME-attached compressed tar files.

As a "shar" file it would only have been 2,377 bytes and would then have
been readable from even the most trivial text-based mail reader, so the
whole message would only have been about 3,100 bytes or so, and not much
more even if you'd still used MIME to attach the text shar file, or if
you'd used MIME to individually attach the three text files as plain
text.

I think the extra 600-1000 bytes would have been well worth it so that
your patch would have been directly readable and usable from any mail
reader.
