* Integrated bsdiff/bspatch 4.2 (from
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/bsdiff-4.2.tar.gz) into the source tree. The license is a bit peculiar, but it does allow verbatim copying, which is what we do here (i.e., so don't make any changes to the sources).

|

to
|

.Ao Ar newfile Ac
|
||||

|
||||
patches produced are on average a factor of five smaller
|
||||
than those produced by any other binary patch tool known
|
||||
to the author.

|
||||
uses memory equal to 17 times the size of
|
||||
.Ao Ar oldfile Ac ,
|
||||
and requires
|
||||
an absolute minimum working set size of 8 times the size of oldfile.
