The only slight problem is wrong direction, the right procedure is 

diff <options> old_version.jam new_version.jam

and you seemed to run it as 

diff <options> new_version.jam old_version.jam

That's no biggie, "patch" can handle this almost automaticaly.

I've committed the patch after tweaking log message a bit, and also enabling 
RSP files support for compiling C files (not only C++).

Thanks!
