Hi Gary,

This patch makes `mail' the first command to operate on multiple
patches outside of the series.  While I would enjoy being able to send
a single patch, or a sub-series, I don't think quilt should generate
emails that can't be applied on the receiving end.  In other words, in
order to send an adhoc set of patches, `mail' should first verify that
the dependency graph of the selected patches is sane.
