I sent the patch at http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2008-July/058460.html but got neither it applied nor any other comment. As far as I can tell, I complied with all the guidelines at http://www.winehq.org/site/sending_patches.
Is it the editing of comments not strictly part of the new test (but, I'd claim, valuable for the future expansion of those test cases to cover the remaining flag option combinations)? The introduction of a new buffer in the test handler? That the test handler maybe should be a patch in itself (although the standard practise seems to be to bundle them)? The code in the new test-cases? That the editor.c patch should adopt a different approach? That aside from my own patch to DC++ (discussed in the numbered bug report) I haven't looked for or found a real-world program using this (in which case, should I first get the DC++ patch in, then point to that as an example of such a real-world program; I have been avoiding that precisely because I primarily use WINE and don't want to break things for myself in the indeterminately long period after such an application to the main DC++ tree)? Something else?
Aside from the test cases, this is literally a one-bit change from 0 to 1 and it's been a weeks and a resend and I have no idea what the status is, how likely it is ever to be committed, or how I might have screwed up. Feedback would be appreciated.

Splitting the testcase from the fix would be helpful.
