If you would rather have a non-whitespace patch (as my earlier patches did
with -BbuprN), I can make you one specially or you can do this (which is
actually all I would be doing myself if you asked for one.)
1) untar two copies of circlemud
2) run configure on both
3) patch one of them (delete *.orig)
4) run 'diff -BbuprN oldcirclemud newcirclemud > newoasis.patch'
-b --ignore-space-change Ignore changes in the amount of white space.
-B --ignore-blank-lines Ignore changes whose lines are all blank.
-u -U NUM --unified[=NUM] Output NUM (default 2) lines of unified context.
-p --show-c-function Show which C function each change is in.
-r --recursive Recursively compare any subdirectories found.
-N --new-file Treat absent files as empty.
Enjoy.
(And of course, if you have Windows 95, I'll make it for you.)
