That won't actually work! The problem is, that:
 - The headers (+++/---/@@ lines) should have dos line endings (but does not
   matter too much).
 - The bodies must have the same line endings the actual code does.

Question is, what the code has (it could have been transfered by some method
that converted the line-endings or something).

Also trying to patch with ignoring whitespace could work (I believe I did
that the other way 'round -- applying windowsy newline-damaged patch on
unix). And if it does not, it's not the newlines problem.
