Probably would have been better to use the original patch in the BLFS
instructions rather than just re-diffing to follow the patch
submission guidelines.

The reasons that patches are not rediffed is so that someone who has
downloaded the previous previous patch knows by looking at the Initial
Package Version field that the patch has not changed.

That said, I don't have any problems if we make it a policy to rediff
patches if they apply with a fuzz.
