gdiff / gpatch now on rubyforge

The gdiff / gpatch library and executables now have a home on rubyforge.

That means you can install gdiff not only from source with setup.rb but als=
o via

gem install gdiff


What is gdiff / gpatch
--------------------------

A library implementing the gdiff protocoll, a gdiff creator algorithm
based on zed shaws suffix-array implementation, and a patch algorithm
using gdiff input.

Additionally two programs (gdiff/gpatch) are included that
create/apply a patch in the binary gdiff format.

This can be used for delta compression for successive updates.

best regards,
