That doesn't fly if the host or service has chars in their names that
make them unsuitable as path-names. For example, services ending with
a backslash (or a backslash and one or two dots) can never have
annotations.

Well, for one thing, the patch is generated reversely. The syntax of
the diff command is: "diff old new", while you gave "diff new old".
The patch can still be applied though, by using "patch -R -p1 < file"
