am I the only one who thinks that "patch" is really broken here ?
at least I couldn't find any reason in the man page why patch
creates the "old_file" (and creating the subdirs for it)
instead of modifying the "new_file" which already exists.

so far I was too lacy to check the sources; does anyone know
*why* this happens? or is there a fix for patch available ?
