I think wiggle would make sense in combination with quilt. I didn't try wiggle 
yet, but from the documentation available it all seems to make sense.

As far as GNU patch is concerned, I am currently using a patch that generates 
reject files in unified format. I think this is useful, and I am pushing it 
upstream. I also have a patch that puts all rejects in the same file, instead 
of a reject file for each source file. I'm not sure if and how quilt could 
support that.

Cheers,
Andreas.
