I handled this problem with a little shell script.  In the directory 
above my CVS classpath checkout, I have the files 
"added-for-thread.list", which contains a list of all the files I 
added for the --portable-native-sync work, and 
"changed-for-thread.list", which contains a list of all of the files I 
changed.

Using the script also has the advantage that I don't have to run "cvs 
diff" across all of classpath.

This can be easily generalized if you make lots of different patches.
