Why not try the "obvious" thing <wink>?
% cvs diff -uN <rev-switches>
(Okay this also generates unified diffs, but I'm starting to find them
more readable than context diffs anyway.)
I seem to recall actually getting this to work effortlessly when I
generated the Mailman 2.0.3 patch (which contained the new file
README.secure_linux).
Yup, looking at the uploaded SF patch
http://ftp1.sourceforge.net/mailman/mailman-2.0.2-2.0.3.diff
that file's in there, and diffed against /dev/null, so it's added by
`+' the whole file.
