  * resolve issue2716: calculate bundle names lazily

  Naming a patch bundle after a patch can fail if the patch
  name contains characters that aren't representable in the
  current filesystem encoding.

  Without this fix, it's not even possible to override the
  bundle name with -o, as the default name is calculated
  regardless.

  * correct comment about how patch filenames are made

  isAlpha can include non-ASCII characters

  Changing the implementation to match the comment would
  have been an alternative fix for issue2716, but these
  days having an ASCII-only encoding should be pretty
  rare so it seems better not to make patch names uglier.
