Hm, ok, I see.
- The clean and smudge filters are probably the most important cases.
- I *did* write my own merge script (to merge PNGs!), but I made sure to
begin it with #!/bin/bash, and I don't think anybody else is crazy enough
to write a custom merge script ;)
- imap-send on Windows is so new that I don't think anyone is already
using it with a custom tunneling script.
- The change in pager.c is unimportant because all versions shipped so far
(via msysgit) have the conflicting change that tried without "sh -c" first.
I think that these can be handled with an entry in the release notes.
