FVVO "proper":

willow% apt-cache show patchutils
Package: patchutils
[snip]

 This package includes the following utilities:
  - combinediff creates a cumulative patch from two incremental patches
  - filterdiff extracts or excludes diffs from a diff file
  - fixcvsdiff fixes diff files created by CVS that "patch" mis-interprets
  - grepdiff shows which files are modified by a patch matching a regex
  - interdiff shows differences between two unified diff files
  - lsdiff shows which files are modified by a patch
  - rediff fixes offsets and counts of a hand-edited diff
  - splitdiff separates out incremental patches

It's all right, the MS Jet Engine isn't a real database. You won't need
to put DBA on your CV.

But it's a very appropriate name, in that a jet engine is something that
both sucks and blows.

.. and if stuff gets inside, it either gets utterly mashed or causes 
the engine to disintegrate.
