I would be interested, because you often have software which contains 
binary files and I'd like to be able to handle patches to those with quilt.

However I won't vote for implementing a binary support in diff/patch but 
let quilt handle the situation. We could introduce an option for the 
"new" command to specifiy a new patch in binary format. This patch could 
 then be handled by xdelta.
