Sorry, I cannot rearrange files on ftp.gnu.org.

Hi..

I needed to patch a file on opensolaris, and downloaded patch 2.7 from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/patch/ , thinking it was the latest version since it's at the bottom of the list.

After much testing, I noticed that patch 2.7.1 is also on the page (further up), and it doesn't delete files.

Could someone get rid of this 'landmine', or put it into a subdirectory named 'buggy-do-not-use'?  I just wasted over
an hour on this and only noticed the 2.7.1 version as I was composing this bug report. :-(

Thanks!
