preimage and postimage sums are not something you would "verify" with
anyway, and they are not useful unless you are dealing with binary patch,
so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

 * Similarity and dissimilarity headers are ignored.

I think it is fine to ignore them; even git doesn't use this information
other than parroting them in "apply --summary --stat" output.

 * Binary diffs are no supported.  I think GNU patch should recognize
 them and give a reasonable message for now.

Nice.
