The easiest way to do this is if the user will supply the diff output
in unified diff format (diff -u old.file new.file > patch). Then all
you have to do is go to where you have the source file, and apply:
patch -p0 < patch
This will (if everything goes correctly) update your version of the file
with all of the changes that were submitted. You may then cvs update/
cvs commit at your leisure.
