lots of stuff snipped.

If you want others to be able to use your diff you better make it in
context format, 3 lines before/after changes used to be the rule.
Otherwise your diff can only be patched to the exact same source level
you diff'd with.

Back in the old band-width constrained days of POV-Ray 1.0 development
we often went thru 10-20 patch levels between full source syncs and
that absolutely requires context diffs. As a side note the FracInt
boys often went to 50+ patch levels between full source syncs, but
that's a bit extreme.
