Updated contrib/vim/patchreview.* to version 0.2.1
1) adds a :DiffReview command to review code changes
   in the current workspace.

2) removes the need to have patchutils (specifically filterdiff)
   installed on the system by implementing patch extraction in
   pure vim script.

PatchReview Introduction                                  *patchreview-intro*

The Patch Review plugin allows easy single or multipatch code or diff reviews.

It opens each affected file in the patch or in a workspace diff in a diff view
in a separate tab.

VIM provides the |:diffpatch| and related commands to do single file reviews
but can not handle patch files containing multiple patches as is common with
software development projects. This plugin provides that missing
functionality.

It also improves on |:diffpatch|'s behaviour of creating the patched files in
the same directory as original file which can lead to project workspace
pollution.

=============================================================================

PatchReview Options                                     *patchreview-options*

  g:patchreview_tmpdir = {string}
      Optional path where the plugin can save temporary files.  If this is not
      specified, the plugin tries to use TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR environment
      variables in succession.

    examples:
        (On Windows) >
            let g:patchreview_tmpdir = 'c:\\tmp'
<
        (On *nix systems) >
            let g:patchreview_tmpdir = '~/tmp'
<

  g:patchreview_filterdiff = {string}
      Optional path to filterdiff binary. PatchReview tries to locate
      filterdiff on system path automatically. If the binary is not on system
      path, this option tell PatchReview the full path to the binary.  This
      option, if specified, overrides the default filterdiff binary on the
      path.

     examples:
        (On Windows with Cygwin)
>
           let g:patchreview_filterdiff = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\filterdiff.exe'
<
        (On *nix systems)
>
           let g:patchreview_filterdiff = '/usr/bin/filterdiff'
<
  g:patchreview_patch = {string}
      Optional path to patch binary. PatchReview tries to locate patch on
      system path automatically. If the binary is not on system path, this
      option tell PatchReview the full path to the binary.  This option, if
      specified, overrides the default patch binary on the path.

    examples:
        (On Windows with Cygwin) >
           let g:patchreview_patch = 'c:\\cygwin\\bin\\patch.exe'
<
        (On *nix systems) >
           let g:patchreview_patch = '/usr/bin/gpatch'
<

PatchReview Usage                                          *patchreview-usage*
                                                                *:DiffReview*

  :DiffReview

    Perform a diff review in the current directory under version control.
    Currently supports Mercurial (hg), Subversion (svn), CVS, Bazaar (bzr) and
    Monotone.

                                                                *:PatchReview*

  :PatchReview patchfile_path [optional_source_directory]

    Perform a patch review in the current directory based on the supplied
    patchfile_path. If optional_source_directory is specified, patchreview is
    done on that directory. Otherwise, the current directory is assumed to be
    the source directory.

    Only supports context or unified format patches.

                                                          *:DiffReviewCleanup*
                                                          *:PatchReviewCleanup*

  :DiffReviewCleanup
  :PatchReviewCleanup

    After you are done using the :DiffReview or :PatchReview command, you can
    cleanup the temporary files in the temporary directory using either of
    these commands.
