AFAIK you can insert "echo Package: $d" here without confusing either
people or machines.

Isn't this the same issue that Didier reported a couple weeks ago?
AFAICS,

cd ~/scmroot/xemacs-packages
hg diff -S

DTRTs.  I *think* that

cd ~/scmroot/xemacs-packages
hg diff -S xemacs-packages/{vm,gnus}

will also DTRT (eg, if you've got independent un-checked-in changes in
calc that shouldn't go into this patch), but it's only lightly tested.
Maybe even

cd ~/scmroot/xemacs-packages/mule-packages
hg diff -S

to pick up only changes under mule-packages (but I haven't tested that).
