------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
 The diffstat port routinely fails to build when a new version of diffstat
 has been released and MacPorts has not caught up.  This problem is
 affecting the diffstat port as the most current version of diffstat is
 1.46 and the port references 1.45.  The reason for this is that the
 Portfile specifies a distfile name that is a soft link for the latest
 version.  The distfile should use the specific distribution file name, not
 the soft link to the most recent version.  A patch is provided below.
