So, the thought behind this mess was to allow minimal patches to work.  The
'diff' line is *not* required by patch(1)!

Is it a problem if a patch description contains a line that starts with
'diff '?  (The current code has this issue as well.)

For the record, this ambiguity is what's on several occasions made me
consider splitting the header and the patch into separate files.  Yeah, it'd
be messier.  :/
