+1 to Robert's comments. Already, I don't ever make or use foo.patch files

Interesting
I'm not sure what to make of your short comment, so let me elaborate.
Typically, to update an spkg, I move the old src/ directory to src-old,
untar the new source into src/, and then do a 3-way merge:
kdiff3 src-old/file src/file patch/file
saving the result in the patch/ directory. Most of the time this is
easy, but occasionally there are conflicts that need to be sorted out.
Thanks,
Jason
