I understand and thanks for pointing it out.

I simply want to understand what exactly they want to do, maybe I chose 
the wrong words to express it. But I am eager to learn.

I especially interested how it can work in practise. We talk about 
thousands of files with minor changes when they have applied their 
patches. And I have no idea how it can work in practise to identify 
these minor changes.

Again I am interested to learn how it can work and what are the correct 
steps. It's of general interest to me and I thought asking this here on 
the list is appropriate.

Juergen
