I downloaded patch-2.5.tar.gz from 1997.  It has no problem with udiffs
without timestamps.  When you use -T or -Z, it prints to stdout that it
cannot set the time, but still exit(0).

So in that case, do I understand you correctly that dpatch-edit-patch
should remove timestamps _always_?  Or do you still think an option
(00options, ~/.dpatch.conf, command line) is useful?
