As Ause and I discussed off-line, dmake create_patch (see
<http://external.openoffice.org/ext_dmake.html>) has two problems that lead to
generated patches that are "too large" (and thus hard to diff against older
revisions of those patches):

1  The used diff behaves differently on Linux and Solaris with respect to the
order of files processed (so that patch chunks can show up permutated in two
revisions of a patch).

2  The resulting patch (needlessly) contains the dates of the processed files
(which typically differ for different runs of dmake create_patch, so that the
resulting patches needlessly differ in those lines).
