      I'd like to add bsdiff/bspatch into the base system. I
    initially wrote these as part of FreeBSD Update, but I'm now
    also using them in portsnap, and bspatch has been part of the
    OS X base system for most of the past year as a result of
    being used by their patches.
      My reason for wanting to add this is that portsnap is next
    on my hit list, and I obviously need to get this done first.

      Any objections?
