The worst part about patches like this is that they are a bitch to
check. They're huge and I haev a hard time verifying that the patch
does *exactly* what described, and there isn't something else in there
hiding.

I assume this patch was generated with a script anyway? I'd much
rather just re-run the script itself on my tree, and that would make
me feel less like I had to review it.

So would you mind just sending me the sed-script (or whatever you used) instead?
