[I already had Jari on bcc, given the track record, but I managed not to scream :-) He's on bcc this time too]

Oh, forgot to mention, "quilt mail" expects sensible-editor to be a valid command (there are other places too, "quilt edit" and "quilt header", if I grep for a bit), which seems to be some kind of approach to do what $EDITOR normally does but perhaps using alternatives instead? But, Cygwin doesn't provide sensible-editor anywhere, so I had to manually create a symlink for that to work. Here's my workaround in case any quilt user needs it (which seems unlikely): ln -s /usr/bin/vim /usr/local/bin/sensible-editor A peek inside the quilt package reveals that sensible-editor is a debianism and that upstream indeed uses $EDITOR. Jari, please scratch the use-sensible-editor patch, or invent something that provides sensible-editor and add that to Requires: Also, upstream is at 0.60, so an update from 0.48 is overdue.
