    Indeed. Both NetBSD and OpenBSD have BSD-licensed versions of
    patch. That's what I was supposed to start with. The thing is,
    all three versions (Net, Open, Free) have different improvements
    to them. I really should get going on this, but right now my
    spare time is spent trying to track down other problems with my
    FreeBSD machines...
