It's somewhat of an ugly hack, but I have a script that copies the
original (unmodified) main directory to main.dev, copies my modified and
new files into main.dev, and then uses the Unix ``diff -Naur'' utility
between the main and the main.dev. This gets the newly created files in
the diff. Just be sure not to miss any files in the script that you've
modified.
