Isn't the standard to apply patches to 2.4.18?
Of course one might say that each appended -name is a patch to be
applied to the previous part of the name, but then, that would mean
-pre9 is a patch to be applied to 2.4.19. :-)
Actually, what would be nice is a way to document what each patch is
supposed to be applied to. This may have been some of the problems I
had with -ac patches a while back when I first tried some.
