just copy the original file to <file-name>.ctm. ctm will then use
this when it has to apply patches. This works quite well, I have a
number of files which I've modified. The only problem is noticing
when the original file was changed and then looking at the mods for
applicability to your version (a good example is /sys/conf/files for me).
