Hi Sergei,

I tested it again and found it much more useful than last one,
but :-)
- if I'm using cvsup, I must store my patches in a way, that
   I can re-apply them after a cvsup, because not each committer
   applies the sent patches in time :-)

So I will use my difflist and my submit-pr, because I need
either a switch for storing the patch created by pr-change
somewhere or an option to use a somewhere stored patch,
better both.

Can I specify -d more than once, eg.
   pr-change -d Mk/bsd.port.mk -d "*.orig"?
