If you have a new and an original tree, you can do the following:
diff -uNR ethereal-orig ethereal-new >asdf.diff
You may want to "make clean" first and manually edit out stuff that doesn't
belong into that patch (including configure changes, it's sufficient to
submit changes to configure.in).
As an alternative, you may leave out -N and attach new files separately.
If you want to submit the change to a single file, do
diff -u ethereal-orig/file.c ethereal-new/file.c >file.diff
or something of that sort.
Big files should be gzipped (or zipped or bzip2ed or ...) and finally,
you mail these changes to the ethereal-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailinglist as
an attachemnt (this avoids autowrap with some clever mailsoftware).

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
