I think it depends upon what you want.  Personally, I'd be interested
in seeing a patch that shows the changes that ACT has made.  So the
best candidate for diffing against would be the version of GDB that
you merged with in your most recent merge.

OTOH, a patch against the bleeding edge sources gives us a method of
obtaining your source tree.  Personally, I think it'd just be better
for you to drop a tarball someplace if this is what's desired.

As I think about it now, I think a tarball is probably the best
approach anyway.  That, along with a pointer to the version of
GDB that you merged against should allow those interested to
do their own diffs in whatever why they want...
