I'm not requesting that you do that, but it could potentially be a
malicious distfile now. We need to be extra careful not to propagate
those if we can help it, hence the suggestion to document what was
changed in order to show due diligence.

I realize the chances of this one being malicious is small, but it is
best to diff the two before commit, even if QAT is angry at you. I'd
rather see a broken port for the short period of time it takes to do the
right thing than one that is malicious that slipped through the cracks.
