The -w (ignore whitespace) or -b (ignore blank lines) arguments to cvs
diff might be useful with fighting whitespace clutter in patches.

Also if the patch isn't huge, the crappy sections can be simply edited
out by hand. You just need to be careful to remove every line from the
line beginning with @@ to the next one so that patch (or equivalent)
won't get confused.
