Instead of using the file with the least order of path name components,
shortest filename and finally the shortest basename (with the search
stopping as soon as one of these conditions is true), the first filename
checked was used as the reference, and another filename was only selected
if all of the above comparisons are in favour of the latter file.
This was wrong, because filenames with path less components were only
considered, if both of the other conditions were true as well. In fact,
the first filename to be checked had good chances to be selected in the
end, since it only needed to be better with regard to any one of the
three criteria ...

the 12g variant, contains no copyleft code. It is therefore
convenient to keep using the original versioning scheme to
prevent confusions.

re-import `patch' into this location. Instead I think I will import
it to 'patch-b', and that way I can be sure that I am starting with
a clean slate WRT the CVS repository.
replace the version we currently have in src/gnu/usr.bin/patch/.
Among other things, this version includes a --posix option for strict
POSIX conformance.
This version is the current source from OpenBSD as of today. It is
their 3.5-release, plus a few updates to patch.c and pch.c that they
made about three weeks ago.
