Hi,

[version 002]

'patchview' merges a patch file and a source tree to a set of
temporary modified files.  This enables better patch (re)viewing
and more viewable context.  (hopefully)


The patchview script is here:
  http://www.xenotime.net/linux/scripts/patchview


usage: patchview [-f] patchfile srctree {ver. 002}
  -f : force tkdiff even if 'patch' has errors
  -s : single tkdiff even if patchfile contains multiple files


It uses (requires) lsdiff (from patchutils) and tkdiff.

patchutils:  http://cyberelk.net/tim/patchutils/
tkdiff:      http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkdiff/

Thanks for Nick Wilson and K.R. Foley for patches.

Changes for ver. 002:
- add -s (single) option for only one tkdiff at a time
- better option parsing
- fixed use of 'mktemp'
- exit if mktemp fails
