9legacy patches are available as "unified diff" format and
are generated with "ape/diff -Nru".

I tend to prefer ape/diff to patch/create because it includes
everything in a single file and can handle file deletions.
It's also easier to read without using external tools.

Feel free to ping me again if I missed something you sent me.

9legacy includes a patch to 9fs which replaces plan9.bell-labs.com
by 9p.io.
