What visual patch review tools are available?

I'd like a simple text-mode tool that applies a patch file to an original source file and prints the full merged file, with both 'before' (-) lines and 'after' (+) lines included, so that I can easily see the full context and all of the changed lines.

Is there already such a tool?

thanks,

I would say cwdiff or cdiff. Not exactly what you asked for but this is what I used for this purpose. By increasing the context size used by diff with the -U option, you should be able to get the full
context.
