Your diffs are backwards.  You need to say "diff -c old new", not the 
other way around.

I would ask to make diffs without the docs inlining.  Inclusion makes 
reading the diffs much more difficult. 

Also, shouldn't the docs (the *.txh files) alsdo be updated to reflect 
the changes?  For example, the current docs doesn't mention that lseek 
can be redirected.
