I guess one could try `patch -p1' and if that failed, `patch -p1 -u'.

Hmm, I'll think about that, thanks.

But the problem is that patch will get stuck in interactive mode prompting
for a filename.  I've never actually worked how to make patch(1) just fail
rather than going interactive, not that I've tried terribly hard.  Any
hints there?

Patch -f will turn off those questions.
