The patches referred to are actually the differences/changes between
subsequent CVS versions of the files.  You use the "patch" utility to apply those
changes to your source files, thereby making the same alterations.

There is a man page for "patch" as well as info pages.  Try issuing info diff or info patch.

Source code for patch can be found at: http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/patch.html
