Seperate sub dirs for the patches?  Prefixes to the patche files?

I just added the possibility to pass a non default series file name as
the first argument to the script.  For example series-3.0.14a  After the
file is downloaded the script creates a sym link series to it.  series
is the default filename for the quilt tool.

It's also possible to path a different PATCH_DIR via the environment.
The default is http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/

Hey.  You also added it to the series file.  Cool!
