If you want to patch something that is in CVS you should definitely use
the 'diff' command in CVS to make the patch.

Just check out the sources, make your changes, perhaps do a 
"cvs upgrade" (this will _not_ destroy your changes), and then a
"cvs diff -u > patchfile", and there you have your patch, good and
ready!
