Awesome, did you write it from scratch (the patching func) or did you borrow some ideas from the bsdiff sources? Just curious. I guess you wrote from scratch as you are probably super good at programming. :P

I took ideas from bsdiff source, plus help from people from the MPQ community, as they already figured out how to interpret Blizzard version of BSDIFF. You will see it soon in the next BETA of StormLib anyway.

Bunch of people who ever e-mailed me that they need something, or that there is a new MPQ format that I can't handle :-). There is no forum or an official website, most probably the guys don't even know each other. They all know my MPQ tools so they write me frm time to time.
