I agree (and look forward to it :-)

I wasn't around before the 0.5 series, but I must say that I
appreciate you letting us know what you're working on.

Could I ask why you want PHP-based diff/patch?  (One drawback is of 
course having to implement something again). 

Is it to make the installation independent of other software?
Or so that pmwiki.php doesn't have to be allowed to execute other programs?

It would be nice if it would be possible to _also_ use an external program 
to manage different versions of a file in the future. I looked briefly at 
the HandleDiff() in pmwiki.php, but I couldn't figure out what it does :-(
