makepatch (2.03)

Very useful on unix-like systems.
Too bad it has many problems with end-of-line handling so it does not work on Win32 because the checksum feature is too strict.

makepatch (2.00a)

If you are hacking on the Perl source, this distribution makes it extremely easy to create proper patches to send to the porters.

The idea is to create a copy of the source tree, make changes in one of them (possibly involving many files) and then run the 'makepatch' script on those two directories. It will take care of everything and you no longer have to worry whether you might have forgotten a file in your patch.
