There is no easy way, but you can possibly make your life a little
easier using mc: Just go into the .diff.gz file (select it in mc, hit
return), and you see the whole diff in a filesystem view, where every
change in a file is displayed as file.diff.
That makes it at least easier to sort out the different files / hunks.
