I'd welcome the changes. As Mumit Khan's mail confirmed, we need to replace
that file.

We use 'diff' and then perferably GNU diff. There's a native Windows version
available here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/diffutils.htm

We prefer the -u style option.

(And on the applying side, we use the 'patch' tool to apply diffs.)

As Soren already said, if you get the curl sources off CVS you can use cvs
itself to get diffs suitable to mail as patches.
