 AFAIK, you do not _require_ diffs, you prefer them. Logically this port
 was not a patch to previous version, it was built from scratch.
 
 Also, last commit broke qalculate patch stage (there are 2 pairs of same
 patches committed under different names, I don't know how this
 happened). So, my own CVS desyncronised with FreeBSD ports. This way I
 have more chances to make a mistake when diff'ing.
