In this case, it's not worth splitting the patch into "implement the macro" and
"use the macro" because both parts are so simple (even though the latter part
is large), so just put it all in a single patch.

If you did want to make two separate diffs against HEAD, it's easy to do so
because the changes are in separate files:

   svn diff subversion/include/types.h > unused-param-implement.patch
   svn diff subversion/{lib*,clients,svn*}/ > unused-param-use.patch

By the way, the log message for this last part of the change doesn't (in my
opinion) need to have too much detail. Perhaps list the files in which the
macro is used, but not the names of the functions.

I'm still thinking about whether we can do better than putting the definition
in svn_types.h. We really should try hard to avoid using that file as a
dumping ground. I'm thinking svn_private_config.h would be better, since this
is an implementation detail that users of our libraries don't need to know
about, and since the appropriate definition might depend on the compilation
environment. For example, some compilers might complain more about "(void)x"
being a statement with no effect than they do about unused parameters.
