We could introduce an option for the "new" command to specifiy a new patch in binary format. This patch could then be handled by xdelta.
At the moment, my code can handle a patch that's an arbitrary mix of binary and regular patches (because one functional patch may need both kinds). Is it a helpful simplification to say that a given patch be only binary or regular? It loses the functional grouping but may make the code easier. At the moment I'm ASCIIifying the xdelta output. If we don't mix binary and regular style in the same patch, maybe we don't need to bother with the ASCIIification. Binary patches in $QUILT_PATCHES would just be compressed xdeltas. (You'd then send and receive a mix of patches and compressed xdelta to/from your upstream and downstream). Hmm.
