That would IMO be much more difficult to do than 
applying the selected patches only, since the 
selected ones are usually well separated, while 
the patches in general are no so much so. Take 
the hbwin patches for an example, or any patches 
which were done after type changes.

Plus such is doubtful, because you say all your 
patches should go (after marking some of the for 
merge), while I say only my marked ones should go, 
and while this system already looks unsystematic 
(f.e. what about the other developers?), it's 
the perfect way to confuse anyone who's trying 
to do the job.

This could be avoided by simply copying current 
trunk to 2.0.x and say we were developing 2.0.1 
all along. I don't agree with that though, because 
that wasn't how f.e. I started to make changes, 
which means there may be things which are not 
necessarily stable, were not necessarily tested 
on all targets, and may break compatibility 
promises.

Even some of your changes may break it, f.e. 
adding WIN32PRN to xhb. (it's a good change, 
but nevertheless not a 2.0.1 one), or 
'renamed DB_DBFLOCK_XHB64 => DB_DBFLOCK_HB64', 
or WinCE function cleanup.

So to make merging task easier, maybe it'd 
be useful if you marked the remaining ones 
you think should go, as TOMERGE. A quick 
review revealed that there are some which 
may indeed qualify as bugfix but not marked 
as such. Of course we can let it to Francesco's 
best judgment.
