Topic: .diff merge tool -> .patch merge tool?

Any .patch merge tools out there that would simplify the application of .patch files?

I think it would be really sweet to take the windows quick-compile instructions, have some sort of .patch merger and be able to merge .patch files with just a few clicks - anything exist out there that you guys use?

Nobody applies these patch-files by hand. The patchfiles (diff-files) are generated by diff-utils (diff) and applied with patch-utils (patch).

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for.  I wanted to be able to include .patch files for the modifications I'm making but didn't want to setup an entire development environment to do it.  I'm more of a notepad coder myself.
