patch review tools

What visual patch review tools are available?

I'd like a simple text-mode tool that applies a patch file to an original
source file and prints the full merged file, with both 'before' (-) lines
and 'after' (+) lines included, so that I can easily see the full context
and all of the changed lines.

Is there already such a tool?

thanks,

I would say cwdiff or cdiff. Not exactly what you asked for
but this is what I used for this purpose. By increasing the
context size used by diff with the -U option, you should be able to
get the full
context.
