Can anyone else confirm the above?  I just ate my own dog food (again)
and it still works.

I just verified that my patch.exe is the same as the one on a Cygwin
mirror.  Markus, please verify that your version of patch.exe is
current.

I didn't need to configure --with-diffutils for make installcheck to
pass all of its tests.

I tried just using my patch (i.e., the second one) hoping the changes
from b20 to 1.1.4 would have obsoleted the original patch.  My findings
were that conf.sh failed during the mmap tests.  So, I concluded that
the first (i.e., original) patch was still needed.
