The trouble I had turned out to be one with line endings. For some
reason patch does not behave as Emacs on w32 when it comes to line
endings. A line and should just be a line end in my opinion. The patched
text file should retain its original line format. If this is possible
then that would really give me and other using w32 a fair chance of
doing useful work. So I hope to get in contact with the patch maintainer
about this.
I use the GnuWin32 port of Patch on Windows, and it works fine for me.
Since I checkout Emacs files with -kb option to "cvs up", they (the
text files in Emacs source tree) have Unix-style EOLs.
