Go for it! I believe patch files are just the output of diff, like
$ diff oldsource newsource > patch

but then i guess you would need it to work over the whole resource tree...

While your at it, how about a patch that changes the gui behavior, so 
that I'm not expected to come up with a name for a sample before I 
tinker with it? like, a default to "unnamed" when a new patch is created...

and while your at both of those things, I believe the specimen project 
is still in need of a new admin? ...
