Ah, I do this type of thing from time to time and I use emacs to do  
most of the work, though, I do eyeball tons of code to ensure that  
everything so changed is ok.

Also, the other technique would be to just force apply the patch to  
the 4.2 branch and check in the result.  Those hunks that are  
similar, get patched, those that don't, well, let's just say, they  
aren't going to easily support backporting anyway.
