This is a good practice if you are providing not so big changes. Some  
sources need a clean-up some time, and if you do that the path-file will  
contain things that dont have any impact on the code. Else it would get  
more and more confusing to understand the code. I personally did not think  
of keeping the diffs as small as possible. The MiNT, MiNT-lib source and  
the XaAES-source differ a bit, IMHO.

Are you sure that no lines get broken by some clever mail-program or on  
transmission? Thats why I prefered base64.

Thanks, this can serve as sample-patch.

Best would be to place a short info of how to supply patches at  
freemint.org.
