Could you please prepare a new full tarball, like, say, coreutils-7.2a ?

The point is I have my own tool (AppsFromScratch) which downloads the 
source and builds stuff automatically, i.e. I am not building the stuff
manually.

I can, of course, add a piece of code which applies patches, but the next
release there will be no patch, so I'll write the code for nothing

So, if you just prepare the tarabll suitable for the standard

./configure
make
make check
make install

sequence, I'll be able to check without adding any code, just changing the
version.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
