+* Patch is less sensitive to the file names in the diff headers than
+ the scripts are. It tries both filenames specified and apparently
+ checks if the file exists. We only look at the `+++ file ...' header,
+ and ignore the other. Other than patch we cannot simply look at the
+ file system to determine which one is the imput file.
+
+* Patch destroys the backup files it generates if a file appears more
+ than once in a patch. This is the reason why we use the backup-files
+ utility instead.
