[sldev] Patchy whitespace

[Ricky]

I've been seeing a bit of discussion on the handling of whitespace in the
diffs...  Would patch's -l (lowercase L) flag be helpful?  Or would it
hinder by hiding some other issue?

Here's the relevant section from the man page:
      -l  or  --ignore-whitespace
          Match patterns loosely, in case tabs or spaces have been munged in
your files.  Any sequence of one or more  blanks  in  the  patch
          file  matches  any sequence in the original file, and sequences of
blanks at the ends of lines are ignored.  Normal characters must
          still match exactly.  Each line of the context must still match a
line in the original file.
