Well, I just ran a little test, I compiled and ran this:

        #include <stdio.h>

        int main()
        {
        FILE *one, *two;

        one = fopen("one", "w");
        fprintf(one, "one\n");
        fclose(one);
        two = fopen("two", "w");
        fprintf(two, "one");
        fclose(two);
        }

After executing it, diff does what I expect:

        $ diff -u one two
        --- one Wed Mar 31 09:23:01 2004
        +++ two Wed Mar 31 09:23:01 2004
        @@ -1 +1 @@
        -one
        +one
        \ No newline at end of file

then doing a:

        $ diff -u one two|gpatch --posix

works, removing the newline from the end of file one.  I also reversed the
situation, diffing the other direction and it worked as well, adding the
newline to file two.
