intent to package makepatch

[Roderick Schertler <roderick@argon.org>]

makepatch is a simple but very useful Perl script for making patch
files.  It's available on CPAN in authors/id/JV.  Here is the blurb:

    This is makepatch, a program to generate a patch file from two files
    or directories.

    It resembles "diff -c -r -N", but:

      - it is always recursive;
      - it handles 'patchlevel.h' first;
      - it supplies 'Index:' and 'Prereq:' lines;
      - it can use 'manifest' files;
      - it generates shell commands to remove files;
      - it can manipulate manifest files.

Right now the source has no copyright notice, so I'll contact the author
about that.
