To create a proper patch, the easiest way is to make a copy 
of the entire source tree before you start working (i.e.  
    cp -a busybox busybox.virgin
then go into the busybox directory, change things, and then
to create a patch, just run:
    diff -urN busybox.virgin busybox > /tmp/mypatch

To get the filesize, you could also do something like:
    ls -l <file> | cut -d ' ' -f 11
