Well, I just have found a way to download single diffs out of bkbits,
so I can probably just interface with that. Remember, I have to track
only two files.
Mine was the point of view of a small kernel worker, I maintain only
one driver and I don't want to commit more resources to the task than
what would be reasonable. The difference in storage space is measurable
in several hundredth of megabytes, and that is a big gain on my poor
resources.

However, that does not remove any value from your howto, that is both
complete and useful.
