Hi all FreeBSDers,

I want to know how to make a patch.  I've made some changes to xbiff,
such as the ability to play audio files instead of that boring beep,
the ability to fork off your mail program, and XPM support.  I would
like to contribute these, so I need to make a patch.

I've checked the FAQ and couldn't find it, though its probably
somewhere.  I read patch(1) and skimmed diff(1), diff3(1), cmp(1),
sdiff(1) but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Matt Kiser
