Easy to fix. Use "diff -Naur" as we told to you, then convert your patch 
file to the UNIX format. Personally I use Notepad++ on Windows, the 
dos2unix command can to the trick, too.

Actually, it is not one mail per file, but one patch related to one 
changelog.

For example, I plan to send a patch for the stat block size, there will 
be a single changelog like "Modified the st_blocks value to reflect the 
raw value provided by the kernel.". I will provide a single patch for 
all affected files.

Then if I want to fix something else, I will provide another patch, and 
so on...

Just as a precision: you can use diff on directories to make a single 
patch for all the files. Typycally, before working on the MiNTLib, I 
make a reference copy named mintlib.orig and I keep it clean. Then I 
work in the "mintlib" original directory. At the end, I do:

make clean
diff -Naur mintlib.orig mintlib >mypatch.patch
# Don't forget to convert the patch to UNIX format !

Things are a little more difficult with the MiNTLib, because the objects 
are built in the same tree as the sources, and "make clean" does not get 
rid of everything. So your patch file will contain differences on 
unwanted files, you will have to get rid of them by editing manually the 
patch file (quite easy).

If someone has a more clever method please tell it.
