TD graciously added a makefile target I requested, "lynx.patch" which I
suggested to generate patches.  Mentioned in README.  This presumes
the directory structure

                         ________________

                         |______________|
                           |          |
                 __________V__     ___V_________
                 |           |     |           |

                 | lynx2-8-3 |
                 |___________|

I used "diff -c" rather than "diff -u" because "-u" isn't POSIX.

(the "lynx.patch) target includes some distcleans in the "orig"
source tree.)

The "lynx.patch" target includes a similar filter.
