I would like to know how to determine what is changed by each patch.
A list of files changed by a particular patch would be sufficient.
If I am supposed to be able to get this from the FILESwhatever file
included with the patchkit, then I need to know how to interpret
this file, because it isn't obvious to me.

I intended to scan the news archives for this kind of info but
minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au is down.  Is there another source for the
news archives?  (preferably a faster one, too).

I am using patchkit 0.2.1, although I will be downloading the 
new one today.
