This may have already be addressed. I've been skipping a lot of emails
since just got back from vacation. But, just in case it hasn't been said:
cvs diff -c is usuable by patch. cvs diff alone is not.
cvs diff -u builds a unified diff that is more compact, but doesn't work
with older versions of patch (solution: install latest version of patch).
