How to make use of .diff file in Windows

Question

I have a .diff file containing a ton of changes across a ton of files.

I have earlier applied diffs manually using WinMerge. But this diff has way too many files and changes.

Is there any tool in windows for implementing the changes listed in a .diff file? I find the following seemingly relevant thread cryptic and beyond my comprehension abilities: How to apply a .diff file

If I get it right, what you need can be in TortoiseMerge. http://tortoisesvn.net/TortoiseMerge.html Please have a look at the Applying patches part here.
