I vaguely remember that somebody once asked for something a la GNU patch's 
-B option.

Besides, why restrict ourselves?  I mean, really, my patch only adds 6/4 
added/removed lines relative to your patch (part of which stems from the 
fact that I did not forget the "diff --git" line).  Why not take the added 
value virtually for free?

Ciao,
