need some patch application process. This plugin seeks to address those situations.

<question>Why doesn't this work on Windows?</question>
<answer>
<p>
This plugin wraps the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/patch/">GNU patch tool</a>, which must be in your
<tt>PATH</tt> in order to function properly. A Windows installation usually does not ship with this tool so
you will need to install it manually. You might be able to get this plugin working within
<a href="http://cygwin.com/">Cygwin</a> or by using the port
<a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/patch.htm">Patch for Windows</a>.
