If you're using darcs annotate to generate the patch contents, you can give
additional arguments to restrict the changes to specific files or
directories.  There is some trickiness involved, however, if the file has
been renamed, so you'd probably be better off using the file's "creation
name" and "creation patch hash".

Or you could parse yourself as you were considering.  (I'll let someone
else explain the patch format...)  Parsing yourself is definitely more
fragile, as we *do* plan to extend the patch format.
