Maybe instead of just checking for $NetBSD at beginning of line, only 
check for that on the first line.

If $NetBSD for some reason or another was starting another line in a 
diff, someone could abuse it. Imagine in a shell script:

$NetBSD rm whatever

Maybe this doesn't matter as maybe someone couldn't add a new line to a 
diff without breaking the patch(1) use of it.

p.s. I haven't figured out yet how to do it with sed :(
I tried:
sed -e '/\$NetBSD.*/,1d'
for testing and some others but that removed all lines with $NetBSD not 
just the match on line number one.
