Please think a little bit about that, because it would not solve
the problems (if they are) discussed in that thread. As an example:
I'm working currently on the binutils 2.8.1. The diffs will have a
size of about 50K not zipped. The for DJGPP prepared source archive
will have a size of about 2MB or so. But following your thought
I should upload to DJ only the diffs and the user should then download
from the GNU sites the full binutils sources which are about 5MB?
