Is a patch really necessary when the following works perfectly well?

sed -i 's|tempfile -d /tmp -p bz|mktemp|' bzdiff

I don't think calling sed in the script is really necessary nor prudent
here.

As for patch vs sed, the sed is very educational and straight forward
and would flow quite nicely in a book. It cuts down on one more patch as
well.
