(Comparing output is also fun because the ordering of the patches is
random, so consecutive runs with the same rule will give different
patches. I assume that it's just because it's done in parallel, but it
doesn't help the "try to see what changes when you change the script"
;)

What I do to compare is:

 patch -p1 < cocci1.patch
 git commit -a
 git show | patch -p1 -R
 patch -p1 < cocci2.patch
 git diff

Then I see how things changed. This is how I was able to show you the
tweaks I made.
