+binary diff and patch using the BSDIFF4-format
+
+The code is mostly derived from cx_bsdiff (written by Anthony
+Tuininga, http://cx-bsdiff.sourceforge.net/). The cx_bsdiff code in
+turn was derived from bsdiff, the standalone utility produced for BSD
+which can be found at http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff. In addition
+to the two functions (diff and patch) cx_bsdiff provides, this package
+includes:
+
+an interface to the BSDIFF4-format
+
+command line interfaces: bsdiff4 and bspatch4
