That makes more sense to me. To create a patch file, I just use the diff
utility on linux, I'm sure something exists for windows, but if you want
to just send me the file, I can patch it for you.
Does everyone else agree that this is a good thing to change? We at least
need to discuss it and maybe there is something else we need to do
here...perhaps a property to control the order it uses?
