I just fixed something else ... your Multilingual package contains  
source code with embedded "0" characters in  
GreekEnvironment>>supportedLanguages. When trying to build the diff,  
the parser crashes on this method, and I had no error handling for  
this (it should not happen, anyway ;-). So now I just catch any error  
that occurs during diff-building and fail properly (that is, answer a  
404 and never try to build that particular diff again).
