Patchwatcher now regenerates configure and makefiles after each patch, so it can handle patches that change configure.ac.
I have enabled email notification to authors of patches that don't build. The script now forwards patches that pass all tests to the mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/wine-patches-filtered so potentially Alexandre could start looking only at that list (though it probably only has two nines of reliability at this point, as patchwatcher doesn't handle every case yet, e.g. it doesn't handle partial resends of patch series).
