    pretty simple... extract the src rpm of the newest updated kernel with
    file-roller e.g.

    after that alter the spec file and hook in the patch into the spec
    file.... build a new rpm from the spec file with rpmbuild and there ya
    go.

    win4lin is commercial stuff... are you sure you cant achieve what you
    want to do with free tools / wine ?
