For changes to be useful, you must be able to use standard software
to apply them. xdelta is not (yet) standard software. Since we also
use diffs to track what happens in development, they changes must
be human readable. xdelta also fails this requirement.
This isn't a serious argument. First of all, you could provide both,
xdelta and diff.gz. Second, you can always unpack the old and new
version after an xdelta has been applied and then simply do a `diff
-aruN <old> <new>'
