If it's a CVS checkout, just do:
$ cvs diff -uN

from the directory you wish to start the patches from,
and it'll pick up all files, including new ones.

Although, thinking about it a bit more, I'm not sure that will
work with anonymous checkouts - it should do, but you have to do
the 'cvs add/remove' on the files as normal, which doesnt need
write access to the repository to do, afaik.
