I think so, but then the two sets of VMS mods may not be close to
orthogonal,
because I have focused on the stuff to get RCS working, while Dan may
have focused
on standard DIFF / PATCH.

BTW, the union of our efforts should in some way get merged into the
original
source tree, so that we do noyt have to reapply so often.
