You'll want to use diff -ru, or it won't do what you expect.  If you
create new files, use -N to get them picked up (and make sure you
haven't any junk in either directory).

somewhere@ can be this list.  Please include with your patch a
detailed description of what you have changed and why, so we know what
it's supposed to achieve.
