This is a summary of my tests with Cygwin patch and different line
ending styles. (Only LF and CRLF are tested here.)
I have downloaded patch 2.5.9 from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/diffutils/patch-2.5.9.tar.gz and compiled it
using Cygwin. I have used this patch and the patch that currently comes
with Cygwin to do some tests of patch and diff when the files to compare
and patch have different line ending styles. I have also made this test
using MSYS and GnuWin32 utilities.
The result is that the only option that seems to be able to handle the
mix of line endings is Cygwin using DOS line endings with patch 2.5.9.
(The only thing that did not work was preservation of line endings in
the patched file, but that seems to be a small problem here.)
To see more of the result see here:

I think this is off-topic on emacs-devel, so I will post a meaningful
reply only to the other adressees. Here I will only say that your
conclusions are wrong, and that your tests work for me with a variety
of other Diff/Patch combinations.

Please do. I CC:ed you because I thought you had objections. If you give
me other options I will add them to the tests. You may also suggest
other tests.
But I do not think this is OT on the devel list, but the discussion
around it is.
