Well, I posted script called mkcvspatch to the list almost a year ago.
It didn't cause very much excitement, so I didn't bother posting
any new versions.
I use this script for every patch I send in, it can do the following.
1. Checks that all specified files exists and are modified or new.
2. Checks that all modified files are specified.
3. Checks that all new files in existing directories are specified.
4. Can divide the changes in to several patches.
5. Puts existing files as diffs and new files as tars.
It only works with a online connection to the CVS.
It could be adapted to work without it but I have
nether bothered doing so.

Example of <specfile>:
*** patch1
* dir1/file1.c,
dir2/file2.c:
Reason for modification of dir1/file1.c and dir2/file2.c.
* dir1/file3.c:
Reason for modification of dir1/file3.c.
*** patch2
* dir3/file4.c:
Reason for modification of dir3/file4.c.
This file generates the files patch1.diff and patch2.diff and if there
are any new files in either patch also patch1.tar and/or patch2.tar.
