  Ack!!!  Granted that you say your patches are to virgin X11R2 code, it
would still be nice if you used context diffs.  I don't know how the X
Windows Project people are handling their source, but even if it's
relatively easy for them to access the virgin 11.2 sources, they're going
to have to look twice as hard at your patches just trying to find out
where they may actually belong.  I really don't blame them for being slow
about incorporating your changes.  If someone sent me an ed diff for
2.10BSD, I'd just toss it and ask them to resend it as a context diff.
