[Gllug] Building a patch

I want to produce a patch in linux kernel style comparing two directories
- one is alsa-lib-orig and the other is alsa-lib (alsa lib patched to
allow it to build against uclibc as opposed to glibc). In addition I want
the patch to ignore new files (ie the stuff generated by the ./configure).



patch -ur ./alsa-lib-orig ./alsa-lib just tells me which files are in one
directory set and not the other

patch -Nur ./alsa-lib-orig ./alsa-lib seems to just gives me the content
of the new files in the patch


How can I do this?
