+## "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"
