Yep, that's not really a valid patch file (at least not one that can be
applied.

If you want to do it by hand, look at the "Creating patches with diff"
section on http://jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html.

If you think you might need to add multiple patches, rework them etc.
I'd recommend using git.

Cheers,
Anders
