  Added files:
    usr.bin/bsdiff       Makefile Makefile.inc

    usr.bin/bsdiff/bspatch Makefile bspatch.1 bspatch.c 
  Log:
  Add bsdiff and bspatch to the base system.  These are tools for
  constructing and applying binary patches; in particular, they perform
  well (in the sense of constructing small patches) for executable code.
  Both portsnap (coming to the base system Real Soon Now) and FreeBSD
  Update (coming to the base system a bit later) use bspatch.
  
  This is the same code as the bsdiff-4.2 which has been in the ports
  tree (misc/bsdiff) for the past year, with the following exceptions:
  1. The license is now the traditional 2-clause BSD;
  2. Instead of forking and execing bzip2, the code now uses libbz2; and
  3. Some minor changes have been made to fit this code into the base
  system (adding $FreeBSD$ tags, putting bsdiff and bspatch into separate
  directories, etc.)
  
  This code is rather ugly and has lots of style bugs (mostly because I
  wrote it before I had ever heard of style(9)).  Some day I'll come
  back and clean it up.
  
  Discussed on:   freebsd-arch
  MFC before:     5.5-RELEASE
  Tested by:      Several million users (earlier version).
