OK, I've done this and realised that the `source' ZIP files available
for download aren't source in the GNU `make distclean' sense, i.e. they
contain built elements that the normal punter can re-create, e.g.
oslibsrc.6.32/!OSLib/Source/Core/oslib/s32;0.

So some of the files in the diff weren't hand-edited.

    $ grep -n '^diff' oslibsrc.6.30.6.31.patch |
    > sed -e 's/diff -ruN oslibsrc.6.30.//' -e 's/ .*//'

As you can see, this generates quite large diffs.  Do you store the
mechanically-generated files under CVS?

Cheers,


Ralph.
