GNU patch can apply patches with binary content which are typically

Hmph.  Things must have improved since I looked at it the last
time, perhaps 6-7 years ago.  I remember that I used "diff -a
-u0" as an el-cheapo way to deliber binary contents but found
that patch sometimes could not grok such, and ended up writing a
small customized C program.
