 Applying Patches with Changed White Space
 -----------------------------------------
 
    Sometimes mailers, editors, or other programs change spaces into
 tabs, or vice versa.  If this happens to a patch file or an input file,
 the files might look the same, but `patch' will not be able to match
 them properly.  If this problem occurs, use the `-l' or
 `--ignore-white-space' option, which makes `patch' compare blank
 characters (i.e. spaces and tabs) loosely so that any nonempty sequence
 of blanks in the patch file matches any nonempty sequence of blanks in
 the input files.  Non-blank characters must still match exactly.  Each
 line of the context must still match a line in the input file.
