I'd like to see ".patch" there, but...

I have to mention, though, that the majority of the editing
programs is used on that stupid thing called windows
and they usually and most notably have no idea what
the patch is and how could it happen a file extension
having more than 3 characters. I am already having
hard time explaining to my coworkers what the patch
(the program and the file) is. With mixed success.

Also, how many mail clients know that .patch is actually
a text and not application/binary? It'll make patch
reviewing harder for some (not sure if I'd like a review
of such a person, though).
