Make diff and make release do their smart stuff in python scripts,
stepmake/bin/release.py and stepmake/bin/package-diff.py.  Both should
be merged and rewritten, some day.

You can run package-diff to make a diff from any two tarballs, given
the right set of options.  Try package-diff --help.

It may be useful to know, that things like this work too:

   make diff from=1.3.146.hwn1 to=1.3.146.jcn3

which is what I do after including .hwn1 after I sent Han-Wen .jcn2
