This attempts to minimally cope with a subset of MIME "features" often
seen in patches sent to our mailing lists. Namely:
- People's name spelled in characters outside ASCII (both on From:
header and the signed-off-by line).
- Content-transfer-encoding using quoted-printable (both in
multipart and non-multipart messages).
These MIME features are detected and decoded by "git mailinfo".
Optionally, with the '-u' flag, the output to .info and .msg is
transliterated from its original chaset to utf-8. This is to
encourage people to use utf8 in their commit messages for
interoperability.
Applymbox accepts additional flag '-u' which is passed to mailinfo.

This corresponds to the -k flag to git format-patch --mbox
option. The option should probably not be used when applying a
real e-mail patch, but is needed when format-patch and applymbox
pair is used for cherrypicking.

fix one 'should it be static?' warning and
two 'mixing declarations and code' warnings.

Some people split their long E-mail address over two lines
using the RFC2822 header "folding". We can lose authorship
information this way, so make a minimum effort to deal with it,
instead of special casing only the "Subject:" field.
We could teach mailsplit to unfold the folded header, but
teaching mailinfo about folding would make more sense; a single
message can be fed to mailinfo without going through mailsplit.

- avoid duplicating [PATCH] in the commit message body if the
original commit has it already (happens for commits done from
mails via applymbox).
- check if the commit author is different from the one who is
running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and
"Date: " lines to the output.
- with '--date', emit "Date: " line to preserve the original
author date even for the user's own commit.
- teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ".
The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first
line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH],
and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch
obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original
commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's
patch, and the rest of the commit message body.
Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit
to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From:
and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message.
The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition
to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when
running applymbox.

Rename into a "tools" subdirectory, and change name of "dotest" to "applymbox".
Remove stripspace (which was already copied into git) and cvs2git (which
was likewise already copied into git, and then replaced by a much better
perl version).
All of this was brought on by Ryan Anderson shaming me into it. Thanks.
I guess.
