Download patch.exe,diff.exe from cygwin or mingw.
You can make a diff with cvs using -rdiff file versions (See docs) or
you can save the older file/dir and make the changes at one copy.Then do
  diff -c oldfile newfile > patchfile to create the diff.
To aplly the diff , in the dir where are the files to be patched do:
patch < patchfile
