this is what I do usually
I have a directory with lets say linux-1.3.57 I have a soft link to it called linux
I download the patch to 1.3.58 I do the following things
% mv linux-1.3.57 linux-1.3.58 % ln -sf linux-1.3.58 linux % gzip -cd | patch -p0
I guess I could write a script to do it but I am too lazy
