In this case what would be the best way to produce a recursive
patch file for this set of patched sources:

$ find . -name '*.orig' -print
./conf/s-linux.h.orig
./man/nn.1.nov.orig
./chset.c.orig
./aux.sh.orig
./answer.c.orig
./chset.h.orig
./news.c.orig
./xmakefile.orig
./db.c.orig
./global.c.orig
./global.h.orig
./more.c.orig
./news.h.orig
./pack_name.c.orig
./save.c.orig
./tables/applemacxiso.tab.orig
./tables/atarixiso.tab.orig
./tables/cp437xiso.tab.orig
./tables/cp850xiso.tab.orig
./tables/decxiso.tab.orig
./tables/isoxapplemac.tab.orig
./tables/isoxatari.tab.orig
./tables/isoxcp437.tab.orig
./tables/isoxcp850.tab.orig
./tables/isoxdec.tab.orig
./tables/isoxnext.tab.orig
./tables/nextxiso.tab.orig
./variable.c.orig
./nn.c.orig
./term.c.orig
./folder.c.orig

where the directory 'tables' and the files below this dir
are new files, i.e. their original files are just empty.
