I am having trouble with patch.  My Cygwin patch (and my GnuWin32
patch) says it is version 2.5.9.  But where is the sources for this?  I
looked at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch and they only have version 2.5.4.
How can that be?

The latest GNU patch version compiles out of the box and it works better than the one distributed with Cygwin. By "works better" I mean that Cygwin's patch sometimes fail when GNU patch works perfect.


I've found that GNU patch doesn't work but cygwin's patch works just
fine.

So, no need to panic.


Eeeeeeeeeeks... huh? Oh sorry.
