as of today, the added files are marked with the &&& mark (instead of the +++ and --- for the diffs), which of course causes some issues when you use the whole file as a patch (normally, all the added files are at the end; so the "easy" way of doing it is to remove that part, apply the patch, and then create the new files)

I'd say it's a documented feature ;-),
Documented ? Oops, I missed completely this part. This weekend I have browsed the wonderful Wine user manual for the first time , since I have now a computer with a working db2html - now I know what *is* the Wine user manual ;-) I have not seen where this info is hiding.
Maybe it was in one of your (defunct) WWN. I tried to read them but I probably was lazy too.
Btw, your successor has problems to get in the game; I noticed on LinuxToday that the last Kernel Cousin Wine was showing a 'slow week' - the week where Marcus posted CUPS support - IMHO the more interesting patch since months for all non-games apps. He is not following wine-patches and wine-cvs it seems :-/
I'll try to give it a look later on
I see no reason for you to work on this rather trivial matter. All that is needed is to know the problem. I should have guessed it but I was probably too stressed by the idea of having this 200k patch to look at ;-( Now it's done, thanks for the tip.
