FreeBSD misc : bsdiff

Generates and applies patches to binary files

 This is a pair of tools for building (bsdiff) and applying (bspatch)
binary patches.  When applied to two versions of the same executable
the patches produced are significantly smaller than those generated
by other binary diff tools (eg, xdelta).
