Yes, I understand this need.  For some time I've had scripts to help me 
do this.  e.g. I use patch directly to apply the changes, and I have a 
script that reads the patch and generates appropriate cvs 
add/edit/remove commands.

I use quilt to manage patches as first-class objects as you say, so I 
implemented the CVS support to manage the patches and series files.
