Given a (source) patch file, what's the easiest way to apply this patch on the source files under Windows?
A GUI tool where I can visually compare the unchanged-changed source lines would be great.
Note that this patch doesn't play nice with Vista's UAC. Try Git-for-windows's patch.exe instead, that comes with a manifest that solves the issue.

Can patches be applied using WinMerge?
No. Patch tool from GnuWin32 project can be used for patch applying ...
