Released first cut for M5.
Please note: it is not automatic because it can be quite expensive.
Instead there is a "Guess" button next to the Fuzz field.

The reason for introducing the suggested fuzz factor is not clear for me. To actually use the suggested factor I need to focus on the text field, and change the number there. In fact, I need to change it from 2 to 2, if I would like to give the suggested factor a try. Pressing the Guess button will probably change the suggested fuzz factor. So what's the meaning of this?

We can add a preference which when on, will automatically use the default fuzz factor if the patch can't be applied.
