bsdiff _without_ compression

[robert-rozee]

hi, do you know of anyone who has produced a variation of bsdiff/bspatch that does not use bzlib or any other form of compression? my reason: i'm after creating binaries of bsdiff and bspatch that do not require any external libraries (such as bzlib or libc) that can therefore run on a wide range of linux distros without recompiling. no compression is needed as gzip is available anyway to compress/uncompress the difference file.

i'm a 'poor' C programmer, normally using pascal (FPC/lazarus), and this is for use with a GUI application (10,000 lines of source) that runs under linux. it is part of an attempt to work around the recent glibc symbol versioning changes that break binary backwards compatibility with lazarus GUI programs.

cheers, robert rozee
