Subject: [boost] Fwd: Binary Region Differentials
From: Kenneth Adam Miller (kennethadammiller_at_[hidden])

Suppose I have a rather huge binary region. Transferring it by any means is
an expensive operation. But changes to it will only be some fraction at
worst case as large as the binary region itself, but in practice will
typically be regional byte blobs, mostly not more than a single kilobyte
long.. Is there any data structure that already handles this, where I could
say, have every instance start off from the original binary region, and
calculate what any other instance of that data structure has by
"applicating the deltas"?
