Generating patch files

Hi,

I just started creating my first port for a program names qtpfsgui.

Currently, there are several files to patch. Usually I would run "diff
-r" to create one large patch, but the build system -- and the rules ,)
-- expect a separate diff for each file to be patched.

Is there an easy way to create this set of files, i.e. cutting the patch
into pieces and naming the files accordingly? I looked through the
handbook and various tools, but couldn't find the right one.

Or did I miss the point here?

Regards,
