I think the explanation that you've given in this cover letter, which illustrates the purpose of your patches in very clear way, should also be reported in the commit message(s) of the relevant changes, to help future developers understand the why behind these changes, without forcing them to peruse the list's archives.

[PATCH 0/3] Autotest: improve testability of Windows programs under Wine
Together with Linux's binfmt-misc feature, Wine can be used to test cross-compiled programs as if they were native. However, the shell will not perform the magic addition of the .exe extension after a program name when searching for an executable. These simple patches let the user work around this by specifying $EXEEXT in the AT_CHECK and AT_TESTED argument. (More care is needed because of carriage returns, but this is beyond the scope of this series). Patch 1 is a simple improvement to the testsuite. Patch 2 shows how to write a test suite that runs a C program and works even in the above scenario; it improve AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR by automatically passing EXEEXT down to the testsuite. Patch 3 finally adds support for AT_TESTED with $EXEEXT in the argument.
