patches that aren't new/deleted files aren't affected by the problem

I "believe it breaks" because it does break. Ask JMarc about my old patches
that didn't apply properly. It was because of this problem.
Any new/deleted file in a subdirectory is not handled properly, hence the need
for the script.
I can stop using the script if you want but I don't think anyone will appreciate
them having to tidy up ;)
Now it may be my version of cvs or something but you can't just pretend there isn't
a problem. I've attached the unfixed version of my intl.diff so you can see exactly
what I mean
