Ediff has some functionality like this -- it `refines' thunks it gets from diff by doing its own diff algorithm at the character level, and can indicate via faces which parts of thunks are important. Perhaps the ediff code that does this can be stolen to provide a simple filter for patch files that could add face text properties as appropriate. -Miles -- We live, as we dream -- alone....
