I usually use powerpc-eabisim, just because I think that chip is cool.  :-)

Any platform which has a lot of trouble is also a good one to monitor;
sparc-sun-solaris2* somewhat falls into this camp for me, since I have
some of those where I work, and so I have a vague interest in keeping
those functioning.  But for that one I can normally just try it natively.
The *BSD platforms are also important one to keep functioning.

Well, CVS just uses the GNU diff code.

The GNU diff code only looks for a matching regular expression higher
up in the file than where the diff occurs.  I looked at this briefly;
in the CVS source it's diff/context.c:find_function().

None of that code is language-aware (other than "it looks like C source"),
and it's not really possible to distinguish the cases based only on
regexp matching.  It would have to use some kind of actual language parser
or codewalker.

I wonder how well -p works on Java.
