GNU diff is part of Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/). Subversion is
also available for all of these systems. There are no excuses
for not being able to make unified diffs. :)

+
+Testing Your Proposed Change
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ In v2.3.2, we added a new script called 'dtest'. You run it
+ like you would most of the examples, except that you don't need
+ to run it via exrun:
+
+ $ ./dtest [host] [user] [pass]
+
+ This automatically runs most of the examples, captures the outputs
+ to a file, and then compares that to a known-good run's outputs.
+ The purpose of this is that, before you submit a patch, run dtest
+ and see if it indicates that anything has changed. If something
+ has and you can't account for it, it represents a problem that
+ you'll have to fix before submitting the patch.
+
+ If your change purposely causes different outputs from a dtest
+ run, remove the bmark.txt file, then re-run dtest and include
+ the bmark.txt diffs with your patch. This communicates to us
+ the fact that you know there are differences and want the patch
+ evaluated anyway. Otherwise, we are likely to view the change
+ as a bug.
