Changes in version 2.1:
* A few more portability bugs have been fixed. The version number has
been changed from 2.0.12g11 to 2.1, because the name
`patch-2.0.12g10' was too long for traditional Unix file systems.
Versions 2.0.12g9 through 2.0.12g11 fix various portability bugs.
Changes in version 2.0.12g8:
* Start of the 12g series, with a GNU-style configure script and
long-named options.
* Added the -t --batch option, similar to -f.
* Improved detection of files that are locked under RCS or SCCS.
* Reinstate the -E option to remove output files that are empty after
being patched.
* Print the system error message when system calls fail.
* Fixed various bugs and portability problems.
