This is backwards. Patches should be generated by "diff -c old new",
see section 22.2 of the FAQ.

Why is it a good idea to change the script, when as far as I
understand the problem is that the distribution has a wrong file name?
Do we really want to be incompatible with the official GNU
distribution?
It would also be a mighty good idea to update the Autoconf distribution
on SimTel.NET so that those problems will not bite others.
