I would call it "alpha" then. However, version 0.2 already suggests
that you plan to incorporate more features, so adding "(pre-)alpha"
is kind of redundant.

In my opinion "sPatch" is very useful. I still keep a copy although I
don't boot to Windows to often. So - apart from the bugs you mention -
JPatch is useful, too, according my definition (especially for
non-Windows users).

However, this discussion might be not so useful (keeping
you from working on JPatch). I just wanted to mention that you are
probably too modest.
