Karl, today I went to <www.gnu.og>, selected [GNU Packages], entered
'diff' to search, and 'numdiff' appeared on the list.  That's why I
thought it was a GNU package (of course later I should have known
better after I saw the code).

Note that when the list appears, the directory structure shows:

    * FSF Home >
    * Resources >
    * Directory >
    * GNU Project Software                     # <== not "GNU Packages"

It looks like the home page entry should be [GNU Project Software].  I
think in one of the earlier main page formats one had a choice of GNU
versus all other software.  Maybe the list could have an asterisk to
indicate GNU packages.  Anyway, the distinction is blurred with the
current setup
