There does not seem a way to add a totally new file to a patch with

patcher tool. It might be possible for those with CVS write access by
performing a 'cvs add' before running patcher-mail, but I can't think of the
equivalent for regular users.
Adding a new file to CVS doesn't actually require write
access. The implementation of cvs command happens to
require it. You can add commands like cvsdo from CVS
Utilities (http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/) to add files
locally. Use "cvsdo add" to add an entry in CVS/Entries
file. Then you can include new files in diff output with
cvs diff -N.
