The resources Sun allocates to do miscellaneous tool support pretty
much just suck. Solaris "patch", for instance, can't handle slashes
in filenames, and IIRC can't even handle patches to multiple different
files; their diff is incapable of applying any sort of patch. Why
didn't they just snag Larry Wall's patch and GNU diffutils?
