TkDiff does almost what you want. It requires X and works on the two starti=
ng
files using its own internal diff workalike, not the starting file and the
diff, but otherwise is exactly what you want. Obviously one could make a
wrapper script to patch a copy of the starting file and invoke tkdiff
thereon.

TkDiff is in Debian.
