> Which of the patches can/should go into a qmail binary distro:

None.  djb has not granted rights to distribute binaries for /any/ build of
qmail other than vanilla, qmail-1.03.tar.gz (i.e. a compliant, var-qmail
distribution).  

http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html,
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html, and copyright law govern here.

Note that arguments such as "qmail won't run on system X without patch Y" mean
that you cannot distribute a binary of qmail for system X.  Period.
