The easiest way, keep two copies of the SDL tree, say SDL-orig, and SDL-patched where you've successfully patched all needed files, and removed any stray reject files etc. Then at the parent directory (containing both SDL-orig and SDL-patched trees) # diff -Naur SDL-orig/ SDL-patched/ > SDL-nokeyboard.patch To apply the patch, assuming that the user has SDL-orig.tar.gz and SDL-nokeyboard.patch in the same subdirectory. # tar xzvf SDL-orig.tar.gz # cd SDL-orig # patch -p1 < ../SDL-nokeyboard.patch (the -p1 flag is to tell patch to ignore the top level directory name). It's best to send the patch file as a MIME enclosure since text tends to with tabs get messed up by remailers. The downside is that folks browsing the archive wouldn't be able to retrieve mime enclosures easily (I haven't found a way to copy a mime enclosure from an archive post and get it decoded yet -- anyone know?).
