+       Wiggle applies patches to a file in a similar manner to the patch(1)
+       program. The distinctive difference is, however, that wiggle will
+       attempt to apply a patch even if the "before" part of the patch doesn't
+       match the target file perfectly. This is achieved by breaking the file
+       and patch into words and finding the best alignment of words in the file
+       with words in the patch. Once this alignment has been found, any
+       differences (word-wise) in the patch are applied to the file as best as
+       possible. Also, wiggle will (in some cases) detect changes that have
+       already been applied, and will ignore them.
