The file you have is input for the program patch.  In this particular format
for patch you will find that the first character on the line means something
special to patch.  In this case, '+' as the first character means "add this
line".  You need to understand the syntax to do the patching by hand or
you won't grok the patch file :).

pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
