I did, but I cannot make this syntax work.  git-send-email expects file
or directory names on the command line.  It does not like this data
piped to it.  I can make this work on a patch-by-patch basis piping
directly to sendmail, but this just seems too complicated.

All I want to do is commit this work.  All of these hoops are just
wearing me out.  I have all the glue code in mbox format at
http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/hal_git.mbox.  Can someone look that
over, and let me know if I can push those changes?

Joe
