[ale] Applying patches

[hbbs at attbi.com]

Investigating the new patch to the Samba tree has brought up a glaring
deficiency:  I don't know how to do patches.  

I'm referring to patches distributed as difference files with names in the form
patch-<version_or_whatever>.diffs.gz.  I've looked at such a file's innards and
it looks like it's meant to be executed as a script, but I don't quite get what
the "standard procedure" is supposed to be.  Do you drop the diffs file in the
top of the source tree and execute, or what?
