Okay, I give! :-)  No more .gz.uue patches, I promise!

I went back and spot-checked: gcc.gnu.org sez -- 

We accept patches as plain text (preferred for the compilers
themselves), MIME attachments (preferred for the web pages), or as
uuencoded gzipped text.

So, gz.uue is the *least* preferable, but still (marginally) acceptable
option. In other words, do plain text or MIME, please. Got it.
