    For the past years I do a

        cp -R src src.orig

    after the configure step. Whatever I do in the sources, a

        diff -cr src src.orig

    in  the toplevel directory gives me a patch I can apply to my
    CVS checkout. With this I can never forget  a  single  source
    file touched.
