Patch plupload on W7 64 bit

Some of you may have already read my unanswerd question "Node Gallery won't show images with Plupload" AND this query is a follow on, because I think if I solve this issue, I will have found the solution to my previous one, as I missed out a step!

I am trying to patch the Plupload module with the plupload_url.patch, on my laptop running a 64 bit version of Windows 7, but every method I try fails; I think it says the file format isn't supported! So far I have tried GnuWin32 (but I think the clues in the name there), and also the JDiff Plugin for jEdit! So, has anyone been in this situation, or do of a working solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I do have a VirtualBox installation of Ubuntu if there are no other alternitives, but I'd prefer not to use that because t开发者_Python百科ransfering files from the Guest OS is a pain in the ass!

If I understand correctly, the problem is that you can't apply the patch and want to know how to do so.

Here's an explanation of path files which may help: http://drupal.org/node/367392
