I don't believe there's an option to 'cvs -diff' part of a file. It's
possible that 'patch' has an option to only apply part of it, but I don't
have cygwin installed here, so I can't check that.
It's possible that you might be able to modify the patch file, but I've
never tried it myself. You'd need to try it and verify that 'patch' does the
right thing before you submit the patches.

Yah, that might be the safest approach, ugly as it is.
