I've also renamed -path to -directory.  Here are the recent changes:

I'd recommend to check out `gmm-utils.el' from cvs:

$ cvs -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
CVS password: gnus
$ cvs -d :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot checkout gnus/lisp/gmm-utils.el

(cf. http://www.gnus.org/distribution.html)

There's also a cvsweb thingie, but when starting from
<http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gnus/> the "(download)"
links don't work ATM.  You need to replace "/~checkout/~gnus/" with
"/~checkout~gnus/" (delete the "/"):

http://quimby.gnus.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~gnus/lisp/gmm-utils.el?content-type=text/plain

The diff functionality seems to work.  But of course I'd prefer to use
Emacs' version control facilities. :-)
