I have updated the developers FAQ to mentiton diff -c when I mention
make_diff. The proces of updateing this file involves using lyx to
convert the html to text, cvs commiting both, and then logging into he
main server, cvs update, then copy the faq's to the web directory. I
can be more specific if people are interested.
