An excellent question indeed.
Short answer:
diff -C3 "original file" "modified file" > idle.patch
persons are able to apply your patch using
cat idle.patch | patch
longer answer:
check step 7 of
http://tagus.inesc-id.pt/~pestrela/ns2/ns2_debugging3.html
if you have more questions please ask; however, please submit your patch
only after you are sure what is that "reset-state" code about!
