I tried to apply this as a patch and run into two problems.
1. The file names are not readily obvious to the patch program; the
names it sees are /tmp/geta13002 and /tmp/getb13002 etc, rather than (say)
date.c.
2. There should be a 2 characters (eg two blanks, or "! " or "+ ") at
the start of each line, but by the time Gmail gets the message, there's a
blank missing at the start of lines such as the #ifndef lines at the start
of the patch below. I also had some unfortunate line-wrapping, but I'm
willing to blame that on the (other) email program I use.
3. I tried manually fixing up the patch file for the line starts, but
was not successful.

Did anyone else run into parallel problems, or is it an artefact of the mix
of environments I'm using?
