Subject: looking for a command...

Greetings all --
I am trying to make some updates to a program to get it to build for 
windows.  To make a long story short, there is one place where I need to 
take the source tree and apply a nontrivial number of diffs that are 
specified in an email I have.
The annoying thing is that this is a process that most certainly has been 
automated somewhere, but it has been a long time since I've been on unix and

so I don't remember the commands there very well.  The only program I 
remember that would apply diff specs to files was the source control I used,

and those commands worked off a database in a proprietary format.

Anyway, does anyone know the name of a command that can update source given 
the original files and a bunch of diff output?

Any suggestions are welcome.  It isn't that hard to apply it by hand, but it

is tedious, and there are lots of diffs for a lot of files.

TIA!!!
