I used the listings.sty from the current beta, not the one we currently
have in diff.gz, because ours is in fact non-free:

This is like an "invariant section" clause and at least very problematic
(you can't take 20 lines of code from the package and integrate it into
your package, unless you also distribute the (perhaps outdated) version
of listings.sty that you used...

Also removed addition-dvi from patch-tmp (and listings.sty, which was
there, too).

Yes, I also think we should keep that as it is. By the way, I hope a new
mechanism to update the newhelpindex.html will be included in the new
teTeX (I haven't checked whether it's included yet).
