The question still stands: Is anyone else interested in this? Is there any need for quilt to support changes to binary files?
I would be interested, because you often have software which contains binary files and I'd like to be able to handle patches to those with quilt.
However I won't vote for implementing a binary support in diff/patch but let quilt handle the situation. We could introduce an option for the "new" command to specifiy a new patch in binary format. This patch could then be handled by xdelta.
