I just did a test on this, see http://ourcomments.org/GNU/patchcrlf/readme.txt 

Unfortunately I did not find any alternative that handled everything the way
I would want. GnuWin32 patch seems to read the patch file (the file containing
the output from diff) incorrect. The patch file must have CRLF line endings.
However GnuWin32 diff can handle LF line endings too.

It would be good if GnuWin32 patch was corrected. I tried to recompile it. The
instructions for recompiling seems incorrect. I could not recompile with MSYS
so I installed Cygwin. Not even with Cygwin was I able to recompile, but this
time I got a bit further.

BTW, Cygwin setup with the not recommended option to have text mode as default
had the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the sources for GNU patch
program.
