   I think the only additional bit within this patch that helps with
that is the check for non-conflicting applied patches (the
"find_common_applied_files" routine at line 122 of quilt/commit).

   I see no particular reason that quilt delete couldn't work on
non-applied patches as it stands, or on applied patches with the above
sanity check.
