Not really that similar, unless I am reading this comparison from
Axel's email wrong (or if the comparison is misleading):

Don't the numbers and symbols next to the filenames refer to either a
number of lines or bytes changed? I'm not sure how to generate that
report, but those look like pretty major changes, if they are lines
(or even bytes).

Did you change line-spacing or something that affected
otherwise-untouched files, maybe? Apart from the different file
location and the addition of other bloated autoconf files, the version
I had for gentoo had very little modification, mostly just to handle
kernel and x.org changes.

I'm also just trying to make sure that the "release" of code that I
made won't ruffle too many feathers. While it would be technically
possible for me to have written the ebuild in such a way as to
download the original driver, move the .C and .h files into a
different directory, patch them, and add all the other stuff, it would
have been a lot more trouble than it was worth. Especially since new
releases of x.org and the kernel come out far more often than XDriver
updates.
