Stop phantasizing about merging pkgs back into FreeBSD, instead tell people

to submit patches that apply without fuzz. (Maybe someone could explain the
exact issues with this).

The patch-?? files should be in diff -bu format. This is because (not only)
the FreeBSD ports tsar finds this format easier to read than context diffs,
and so you have more chance of getting your NetBSD package accepted as part
of the FreeBSD ports system if you format your diffs in a unified fashion.
Furthermore, do not put changes for more than one file into a single
patch-file, as this will make future modifications more difficult.

One important thing to mention is to pay attention that no RCS IDs get
stored in the patch files, as these will cause problems when later checked
