I think you need to commit the changes into your local git repository, and
then create the patch from that. I find git a bit obscure, and haven't
needed to create patches before, however -- so I could be completely wrong.

Many thanks for these. I've added the changes (with a tweak to remove the
old AppHelp tokens, as they're RISC OS only and were only in the iconbar to
start with) to a branch stevef/ibarmenu, which you can see (and check out)
here:
http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/log/?h=stevef/ibarmenu
(I can't commit them fully myself, as FatMessages is outside of riscos/).
It might be wise for someone to try building it before moving it to the
master, as although it compiles, I don't seem to be able to link using my
setup at present. I might need to bite the bullet and install the full
toolchain instead of using my own copy of GCCSDK, unless anyone can shed any
light on
