.. or alternatively the scripting tools for wannabe contributors should
include some sort of a simple backup tool to be run on the files before they
are modified.

Later it would be the responsibility of the (automatic) diff&patchmaker tool
to check for the differences and creating "legal" patch (or whatever they
are called)
