It is accepted by patch, if you set the DIFF environment variable.
Setting the P4DIFF environment variable seems to have the same effect.
I set my DIFF variable to "diff -c", FWIW.
According to 'p4 help diff', setting the P4DIFF environment variable causes
perforce to use an external diff program.

diff2 output, on the other hand, won't run through patch properly. You
have to run it through a fixup script to get it right.
