>>What is a boddle and what is it good for?

it's a bundle o' diffs: an rc script that when run
with appropriate options will apply a set
of changes to the reference copy of the source from the CDROM
producing an updated copy in a subdirectory, for you
to cat and diff, and eventually cp onto the active source
for a subsequent mk.

(run a boddle file without options for details of usage).

the boddle command (not in the release, fetch it from plan9.att.com)
takes a reference source and an updated version and produces
a boddle file.  it comes with a manual page; read that for details.
