patch(1) depends on RCS - should it?

patch(1) explicitly tries to use RCS (and SCCS) in certain cases.  Are
we okay with a base system utility that behaves differently depending
on whether a port is installed? Should the relevant code be removed
from patch(1)?

See head/usr.bin/patch/inp.c lines 166 to 240 for details.
